Best Print films for Autumn leaves
Kodak Gold 100 is good, but Agfa Ultra is better. You want a film that will
capture and enhance the colors. Don't be too disappointed with your results. You can never get the "feeling" and "smell" of the Autumn Fall. |

The nice thing about Agfa is that you can get it as cheap Polaroid 4 packs. I think it is availoable as Walgreen's color film. Granted, this will not be the Agfa Ultra, but will still be in the upper ranks as far as color intensity is concerned. The filter referred to below will push even mediocre films into the ranks of the ZAP color champs. Yet, there's something to be said for Fuji Velvia, ... Oops! that's a slide film. Any film will give you surprising results if you overexpose slightly and also if you use a color enhancing filter. Singh-Ray was one of the first to make these available along with really effective fluorescent filters and some for the high intensity industrial lights. Last year I bought one for my DV camcorder. It was made by Tiffen, so they should be availble in a lot of better camera stores. Now, an alternate approach would be to use a realistic color film and lower the contrast a bit. Get the right subject and you should be garnering a prize somewhere. Robert Vervoordt, MFA |

Print films differ far less than the processing does, and with all that red and orange in the negs, the labs' automated equipment will tend to over-correct anyway, giving you cyanish-bluish prints. |
