35mm Film for Nature Photography

Hey guys,

What would be a good 35mm film for photographing rain forests, which
usually exhibit lush and vibrant colors. Also the light might be poor at
the forest floor.

Thanks.

Fuji velvia (iso 50) and a tripod. If you want speed,
Fuji Provia 100 (again with a tripod).

Just my opinion.

I few people recommend using film with less saturated, colors if you scan
the images. They have good luck boosting the saturation in photoshop when
desireable but have more success with shadows etc with high contrast scenes.
.... Fuji Astia100
There are also those who like the look of Velvia and haven't been able
re-create what they like with imaging software even though they are quite
proficient with the software.

Kodachrome 64 and a tripod.

I guess the only thing all can agree on is to take a tripod.

I recommend taking a macro lens and a flash. A 'Sto-Fen'(?) bouncer
in front of the flash (with the flash facing forwards) will send
light down to illuminate the subject.

Being a long-time shooter of the original 50 speed Velvia, I have been using
both speeds of Velvia side by side. I figure eventually Fuji will
discontinue the 50 speed so I want to make sure that the 100 speed will be a
suitable replacement.

So far I've been happily impressed. Velvia 100 is sharp and has the vibrant
colors I have come to expect from Velvia.

When I get the Christmas lights rolls processed, we'll see how it compares
with night photography.
