steve_simons Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 First of all, I really like the colour balance of a roll of slides, such as Fujichrome Sensia II or another alike film. The example I will use is skiing. In a good skiing photo taken with slide film, the snow (on a groomed run) will have very saturated blue shadows. This is also because a bit of polarization, but I love those deep blue shadows. With print film, the shadows become gray. Does anyone have an estimate of the color temperature and tint for film so I can set my digiSLR to take roughly the same temperatured pics. I'd do a test right now... but there's no snow and I just sold my EOS body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelging Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Daylight is around 6500 degrees Kelvin. This is at noon on a cloudless day,It's different in different places in the world at different seasons. You can pretty much count on this for most places.

helenbach Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 The official colour temperature for most (if not all) daylight film is 5500 K. This will produce slides with a blue cast at high altitude. Best, Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic_. Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thats quite a photo Helen (in other words I like it). I heard somewhere that professional films were calibrated for electronic flash and that consumer were for daylight. You probably won't be able to tell as they're so close in temperature. I dunno if all that's true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
