I'm gonna attend a wedding on saturday and i want to shoot some film. It's an african wedding, so there will be loads of bright colors and warm hues. I shoot with a Point and shoot camera (pentax iqzoom), but i own a SLR (Nikon fg 20). I have never shot with an slr camera, and i have no clue how they work. But i reckon the pictures look better on an slr. I have two dilemmas at hand>I don't know which film stock is good for capturing warm hues >I don't know if i should try out the slr camera (or if i should play it safe)i want to capture something reminiscent of picrel
>>4488846never use a camera that you are unsure and even less for important events.>I don't know which film stock is good for capturing warm hues You are lucky, Kodak Gold 200 exists.
>>4488849alright, thanks anon.>kodak gold 200Could i perhaps cheap out and use a fujifilm 200?
>>4488846if its during the daytime then either should be fine; indoors or in the evening and you'll need a flash probably. ektar100 was specifically made by kodak to have better rendering of black skin tones so that's the ideal stock, but gold is okay too>>4488851fuji200 is just respooled gold so yes.
>>4488853it will be indoors, i'm trying to avoid flash, i think it would disrupt other guests. I also don't want to look like an absolute creep>ektar 100Ill try to get my hands on this. I popped a fuji200 into my point and shoot, so ill use that up and ill try to see if i can get my hands on ektar100.
>>4488851boooooooooooooooo
>>4488855>Disrupt other guestsI can understand that, but indoors 100 or 200 iso film without flash might be too dark, depending on how much natural light the location gets. Shooting at 2.8 in a fairly bright room with no natural light is still going to be 1/30-1/60 at best. Any darker or with a tighter aperture and you're quickly going to be out of handheld shooting range.
>>4488910uh anon, dumb it down for me please, i didnt get half of what you said.>100 or 200 iso film without flash might be too darkI think it will be pretty well lit inside, im not sure, but i'll talk to some friends and ask them
>>4488855Try to get some Ultramax/Fuji 400. 100-200 ISO Films are generally not fast enough indoors
>>4488924>I think it will be pretty well lit inside,NTA. Don't be fooled. Even pretty heavy indoor lighting is nowhere near the LV of the outdoors.Indoors with film I'm normally pushing HP5 to 800 at minimum and realistically to 1600 (but I think it looks kind shit pushed two stops). At 800 ISO I'm only just in a "safe" shutter speed range to avoid camera shake and I need to ask people to stay still for photos indoors.400 ISO film is absolute minimum for indoors and I'd be pushing that one stop anyway. If you're using colour film then fagghedaboudit
>>4488946Portra and Lomo 800 work fine indoors, if a bit grainy. But pushing hp5 will make the grain apparent too.
>>4488846get old gold 100 (2006-2005)
>>4488846it is possible to mount 28mm (if you have one) to fg-20 set aperture to 5.6 and 3.3m focus and shoot day with kodak 100 proimage
>>4488946Didnt understand half of that but what I got is >get 400 isoI dont really like the look of kodak ultramax 400 though. It doesn't look warm, and it doesnt have that "film" look>>4488953I have decided to use the point anf shoot so i dont think i can make adjustments like that.I need to finalize what kind of film I'll be using because im going to buy it later today. Ektar100 or kodak gold is what i am considering right now
