Problem: Portra 160NC w Wescott Apollo Micro
Hello,
I shot some photos a a family gathering at a restarurant using Kodak Portra 160NC (Nikon F100 wSB-28DX flash) with a Wescott Apollo Micro Flash diffuser/modifer attached to the flash. Many of the photos came back looking almost "fuzzy" or "sepia-shaded" (as best as I can describe the effect). Since the room was rectangular some of the background came out very dark when the shot was on the long axis of the room but I expected that. What I did not expect was how the color was impacted by the diffuser. Some of the ligher skinned persons faces came out very "pinkish" and others who were dark skinned came out very dark and "shadowy". This was my first time using the Wescott so I was experimenting to check on the effect. With some expections I did not like it with this film. I've used the same film/camera/flash combination with excellent results but was looking for a "softer" effect on candid shots. Would the effect be the same if I used Portra 400UC? Thanks in advance to anyone sharing their experience or advice. Rene |
