ironcloud Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 "Not again, another wedding film questions?!" Guess this will be a phrase appear in mind...but as I try to search for the use of color film in wedding, I only get how good this film is, how nice that film is, how nice the skin-color is with this film, how contrast is high with that film...is there anyone has samples posted online? I'm looking forward for some concrete examples so it can be helpful to me and to other poeple who have same problem with me~...well...the problem is...same as any other wedding film question...what color film I can use in a wedding? Thanks for your answer in advance~!! ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Care to 'be a fortune teller' and give the weather conditions for the day of the wedding? You need to go prepared: slow film for bright sunshine; faster film for inside (with or without flash) -- the old Boy Scout motto applies. Fuji NPH 400 rated at 320 is good to use. But you have to decide what is best for the day you are planning on using your equipment: that is something photo-dot-net has not mastered yet (info on future conditions.)

bruce_rubenstein___nyc Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 You can't judge film characteristics by looking at sample prints on line. Period. There are too many steps, that are too different between going from film to what is on a screen image or paper. You have to round up the usual film suspects, shoot them, have them processed where you usually do and look at the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_levine Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Weddings are contrasty,uneven lighting etc.It is best to use film suited for these conditions.Portra NC & NPH are both medium contrast wedding films,designed to smooth out the contrast speed bumps.Feel free to visit WWW.PHOTOFILMLTD.COM,this is my website and contains dozens of images captured on the above mentioned films.

think27 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I principally use Reala 100. Check out my portfolio for examples in different lighting/weather conditions. I almost always shoot in open shade and/or backlit. I do switch to NPH 400 Fuji when shooting inside as well as Kodak 800 speed film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_fang Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I used to use Reala 100, but find that it gives an almost Velvia-like ruddiness to skin tones (particularly Caucasian). I now prefer NPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
