ian moore Posted August 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shoot a lot of pictures indoors (museums,galleries,etc) and use a variety of films (no flash,M system). Often I am disappointed. For example,when I use Reala,the lighting comes up subdued and not very warm. Colours are flat.You would normally expect the colour temperature to produce a warm glow which I like. Can anyone recommend a warmer print film for indoor shooting under artificial light which would produce a warmer effect? Ian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgray Posted August 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2009 I personally like the Kodak Portra films for pretty much everything color... but maybe you should try a warming filter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicapages Posted August 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2009 Fuji Reala intentionally gives life-like colors. If you seek "warmer" tones, try the regular Fuji Superia series (200 - 400 - 800 give great results). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian. Ian, I agree with Pascal The Superia 100 is really "warm" for colors ! .... some pictures as proof : http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/87761-natural-poppy.html http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/85246-spring-flowers-trio-m7-90macro-fuji.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted August 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2009 If you want warm colors, shoot slide film indoors. You will notice a huge difference. I'd recommend Fuji Astia 100F. Print film renders tungsten lighting cooler. Sometimes, that's preferable, but it depends entirely on the look you are after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_d Posted August 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2009 Ian, Your problem might not be the film but the lights in the galleries and museums. What types of lights are in these galleries, flourescent, tungsten? Maybe you need to be filtering for the color temperature of the light that you are photographing in. Negative films are forgiving but there is no substitute for getting it right on the film rather than relying on the printer to color correct your images.
