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. - faisal. |

Fuji velvia (iso 50) and a tripod. If you want speed, Fuji Provia 100 (again with a tripod). Just my opinion. Roger http://www.clarkvision.com |

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. -jeff "Faisal Zubair Qureshi" wrote in message ...

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. -- Nicholas O.

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. -- Doug Greenwald Keeper of the Bad Attitude "me" wrote in message ... "Roger N.
