Velvia indoors?
Hello,
I am primarily an outdoor nature photographer. I love the pop that Velvia 50 gives my work. Recently I was asked to photograph the inside of our church. I used Velvia...not my favorite 50...but Velvia 100 thinking that indoor photography would need a little faster film. All the walls of the church are cream color but the slides show them all as being orange/yellow...... not a bad look but certainly not what I had in mind for this project. Please advise....What film would give true colors, indoors, no flash, electric lights?? I have a few weeks before the project is due for presentation. Thanks Celeste |

Depending on the lights you might get away with tungsten film. Or you might need to filter to correct for the lights. The orange/yellow you got was actually the real colour. Human eyes tend to adjust. Nick |

You want either tungsten-balanced film, or a correcting filter (pale blue).

Sounds more like the lighting in the church is casting a colour across your images. A cooling-filter (80A, possibly 80B) will help if you want to use Velvia for your images. Churches (speaking from a UK perspective) make a wonderful subject - especially if the building has a beautiful and colourful stained-glass window. If it does, shoot the window on a brilliant bright day and let the high-saturation of Velvia fill the frame with as much colour and saturation as you could ever want. -- http://fotoserve.com/ - Prints, Slides, Posters, Mugs, T-shirts,, Calendars, Jigsaws, Tableware, Caricatures, Greetings cards, Picture bags, Photo Album and Book covers, Canvas Prints, tissues and more ..... from your own digital images. |

Rather than use a filter my first choice would be either:
Fujifilm RTP-II 135-36 Fujichrome 64T Professional Tungsten Color Slide Film (ISO-64) if you can find it (B&H is currently out of stock). Or Kodak EPJ 135-36 Ektachrome 320T Tungsten Professional Color Slide Film (ISO-320) four+ times as fast. Note that color balance will only be approximate with either Tungsten film or a filter, unless you know the actual color temperature of the lights in the chapel, but that tungsten film/filtration will probably bring you closer. -- darkroommike ---------- "Andy Davidson" wrote in message ...
