d_price Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I just got tickets at the last minute to tonights Lakers vs. Nicks game at the Staples Center! And amazing seats!! The pro lab is too far out of the way to swing by before the game at 7pm pacific time. Can I shoot with Fuji Superia 800 and be ok with the existing light levels? Or should I rate it at 1600 and have it pushed? I thought I'd be ok with the box rating because I'm not sure how this film handles when pushed.

kelly_flanigan1 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Fuji Superia 800 is a decent choice; it is a 4 layer film; good for mixed lighting types. Local high school basketball here is between 1/60 to 1/250 @F2.8; with Superia 800. Here I use 800 press by mail order and 800 Superia from Walmart. I usually expose it at say 650 speed.

d_price Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Thanks Kelly, I'm walking out the door now so I'm hoping for some good results. I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_feigenbaum___dallas_ Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 oh damn, the door hit you in the ass before i could chime in... I'd push it to asa 1600 and have the lab push process... hello, hello, Staples Center, ah, could you look for a dude carrying a camera... click.

d_price Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 LOL, actually I shot two rolls of Superia 800 last night. One I pushed to 1600 and the other I pushed to 1250. We'll see how it comes out. This is the first time that I've ever done it. Does anyone have any examples of this film pushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_daggs Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have shot Superia 800 at 1600 and had the lab do standard processing with good results. Color negative film has lots of exposure latitude and most any under exposure of 1-2 stops can easily be compensated for in the printing process. It is sometimes hard to find a lab that can correctly push process film and it usually costs more. Sometimes the results are sketchy. Take this for what it is worth since it has been over two years since I shot any film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armando_roldan Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 a lot depend on where you were seated. the courtside or the upper cheap seats. i shot some photos of the 1975 Golden State Warriors during their unbelievable championship run and we were seated in the $15 upper level cheap seats,,I still got 11x14 tri-x prints hanging in my study I took with a pentax Spotmatic and a 135mm f3.5 lens, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_feigenbaum___dallas_ Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 You can send the film to www.bwc.net for push processing. You must mark to package to let them know it needs to be pushed. Tell them what speed you shot at. They will charge an additional $3.00 for push process. They can process and burn to a CD for about $14. plus the push.
