ryee3 Posted October 7, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I will be shooting in a sports arena where the lighting will be poor. What are some of the faster color films available for sports photography with the least amount of grain. If I need to push the film that would be OK! Thanks:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minhhich Posted October 8, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2010 Hi, I have not used higher than 400 myself but heard a stock photographer friend mentioned Kodak portra 800 as the color and grain is very nice. Here's a search i did on flickr kodak portra 800 - Flickr: Search Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_m Posted October 8, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2010 Portra 800 can be pushed a stop and still looks ok, I haven't used it much but I would push a stop but expose at 1250 rather than 1600, that seems to be best. Fuji make Natura 1600 colour neg which is meant to be very good too but hard to get outside of Japan (have a look on flickr for some examples), lastly Provia 400x pushed 2 or even three stops can work too, there's a review somewhere of it that showed pretty good examples but I can't seem to find it. This rff thread has some examples: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48913 I know this is the film forum but I gotta say this really is where digital shines, low-light colour photography, that is.

Xmas Posted October 11, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 11, 2010 Hi You need a lab that will understand how to push the film or develop it yourself. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
