tony_b Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hello, I have a friend's baby baptism soon, could you suggest me a print negative film to do some photos ? should I use a consummer film or a pro film ? I will use a 50/1.8 lens and/or 28-105 lens, the flash is allowed in the church, the baby will have white dress Thanks for your suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_hundsnurscher Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 You'll definetly want to go with a pro film, in case the family wants enlargements. Is it a big cathedral type church? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_hundsnurscher Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Kodak's Portra line of films (400), I've found work quite well for indoor pictures. If they're using florescent light, then Portra hadles quite well. Even VC does really well without the colors ending up with that ugly green tint that everyone loves to hate. I personally haven't had much luck with Fuji under florescent light.<br> If they don't use florescent lighting, it should still work fine.<br> If you don't want really saturated pictures and the lighting isn't florescent, then you may want to look at Fuji NPH or Portra NC, they produce some nice results.

tony_b Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Thanks Kevin. They use tungestan light. I asked a local photography shop for the advise (i had in mond the portra NC or the Fuji NPH cause i saw some nice photos of weddings done with these films), the shop advised me the Royal Gold, I think this film gives very saturated colours , right ? I think I will try the portra NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_hundsnurscher Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Yes, Royal Gold is going to be more saturated than Portra NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauthier Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 A baptism is all about skin tones. Forget about saturation and high contrast and go for a portrait film. Portra 160 or 400 will do fine. A consumer film won't handle the colors that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
