Im gonna be visiting an orthodox church and i want to capure pictures with prominent earthy tones, super saturated reds, yellows and gold. Wouldnt mind if it has some balanced blue tones too.I think the place will be ok lit, but it wont get much sunlight i think. What filmstock do you guys suggest?Ektar 100 and kodak color pluss are the only ones i can think of. Which one is superior in this case?
>>4506751Ektachrome.
>>4506751>Im gonna be visiting an orthodox church and i want to capure pictures with prominent earthy tones, super saturated reds, yellows and gold.Personally I rate Kodak Pro Image 100 as the best film stock for reds. Hopefully this gives you an idea, metered ttl.
>>4506843That looks great! But does the golds pop out on that stock? I really want to achieve some iridescent gold photos.
>>4506846I haven't had much opportunity to try. you can see some yellows in my pic but I mainly use Pro Image for taking photos of red brick.
>>4506751You have to give it to OP to possibly be the only thread posted here where someone is trying to replicate digital look with film and not the other way around
>>4506751>I think the place will be ok lit, but it wont get much sunlight i thinkIt could be very dark. Are you going to use a tripod? If not, and it is too dark, you'll just be out of luck unless you use the fastest film you can find which will probably just be Portra 800.P800 does have good colors but due to its speed it'll have a fair bit of grain.
>>4507212yeah i realized this after the fact. but i can't really use a tripod or flash because its a place of worship! it would be much too disrespectful of me. Better luck next time i suppose. Now i know that at least.
>>4507263Photographing at all is idolatry so why not? Bring a few 600w strobes and tell them they symbolize the light of christ. Tell them the tripod represents the steadfastness of jesus’ love in the face of sin. Enjoy your photos.
>>4507263Just put your camera on a table or whatever and use a cable release.
>>4507263>its a place of worship! it would be much too disrespectful of me.I just use a tripod when I take photos in my church(es)either way something you'll have to be careful of is white balanceI don't know of any church that's lit with high-CRI white lighting, at best you're going to get something like tungsten (picrel)
>>4507353… or whatever this is, that p800 reacted very poorly to (the lighting looks closer to tungsten irl)
Kodacolor 200, tripod, f/8, 1 second shutter.
>>4507354>>4507353Piss yellow-green is the color of cheap domestic LED bulbs. Our eyes are more easily fooled by the peaky spectrum than a camera sensor is. These bulbs have shit color reproduction and will fuck up some cameras so hard that neutral white balance isn’t even possible.
>>4507465>Piss yellow-greenI generally don't color-correct but tried it out here and that's what it turned out to be yeahhaven't had a problem with my digital camera that I've noticed, but I've taken less digital photos in churches
