Perhaps no better or worse than a good mini lab were someone actually cares. I hate to get technical here, but it's called a VCNA - Kodak Video Color Negative Analyzer. |

In article , says... I will be traveling 250 miles the day before and I may not have access to refrigeration. Any thoughts? Yip, que Randall. I was waiting for that. 1. Don't do it. An option. Leaves the couple with snaps taken with disposable plastic cameras scattered around. Do you really think that's a better result than what an interested and alert amateur can produce with a good 35mm? 2. Use medium format. Not an option. They don't have the money to pay for that. Sometimes people just can't afford your snobbery. Marc Thank you! They told me they would be relying on disposable cameras on each table. I should be able to do better than that. They just don't have the budget to hire a professional. I have a Canon SLR. I am not buying medium format equipment just for this event. I doubt I would use it very much down the road. I am just trying to help out some friends who have a limited budget. Given the constraints on my money, equipment, and especially skill, I want to do the best my capabilities will allow. Part of that was looking for some knowledge here. I appreciate the information that has been posted in response to my inquiry! |

I was planning on taking Portra 100NC for the posed shots, coming down the aisle, and some candid shots at the reception. I was thinking Portra 400NC or Porta 800 for during the ceremony. I was also thinking a roll of Reala. AFAIK, Portra is available as 100T (made to match tungsten lighting colour temp), 160 NC/VC, 400, NC/VC and 800. So watch out when buying the film. You don't want to end up using tungsten film for flash pictures (you pictures will come out blue). You might want it for available light though, which makes me wonder why nobody makes a *fast* tungsten film...? |

Partially correct, Its called a Video Color Negative Analyzer.
Various other companies besides Kodak have produced them.

"zeitgeist" wrote in message news:e%s7d.305623$Fg5.263795@attbi_s53... Two of my friends are getting married. They don't have the funds to hire a photographer so they were just going to put disposable cameras around and use those photos. They asked me to take a few shots. By chance I have studio equipment (Photogenic PowerLights®, Photogenic PhotoMaster). I was planning to take some posed shots with my studio lights before the ceremony. The want a shot coming down the aisle and just two or three during the ceremony. I can use flash when the are coming down the aisle but not during the ceremony. I don't know what the lighting situation is in the church. I was planning on taking Portra 100NC for the posed shots, coming down the aisle, and some candid shots at the reception. I was thinking Portra 400NC or Porta 800 for during the ceremony. I was also thinking a roll of Reala. They know to take what the get since I am not a professional. Without me, they will not have much of anything so... I will be traveling 250 miles the day before and I may not have access to refrigeration. Any thoughts? refrigeration is not that critical, do you think they ship it across the country through deserts and the plains in refrigerated trucks? I think not. I do think they use air conditioned trucks, however. I know that I used to repair office machinery at Berkovitch cigars in Oakland. they were a middleman for candy bars and cigarettes and film. They had a nice air conditioned warehouse for all their goodies before they shipped them out in local trucks and vans to the local stores. I think car air conditioning is good enough for film..... |
