Scanning negs.....
I normally shoot colour transparency film, but have a job coming up which I
have been asked to shoot negs of. I use tungsten lights and tungsten balanced films pretty exclusively. Now I was sort of surprised to find colour neg films balanced for tungsten - I assumed you just used daylight and colour corrected out the yellow cast later. Question is - I need faster emulsions for this shoot, so tungsten is not an option as they are slow and filtering just takes away all the speed advantage. So if I shoot fast daylight neg in tungsten and get them pro scanned to high res, can the lab take out the yellow cast ok when scanning, or will this be a bad route to take?? TIA Phil |

TIA Phil It is a very bad idea to shoot Tungsten lighting with daylight film without a filter. There is almost no way to correct the color balance when scanning film. Tungsten lights are very red-yellow to daylight film. It is very hard to add in colors that are not in the negative. Is ISO 160 too slow? http://www.adorama.com/FJNPL120PP.html Search for "Tungsten Balanced Negative Film" http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?p...egative%20Film You can use a 80A (Blue) filter to shoot Daylight film with Tungsten Lights. Then the color balance is correct. You do not have to worry about exposure if your camera meters through the lens. An 80A filter will not effect the speed of the film if you meter through the lens. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
