Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / January 2007Best film for outdoors?
Ever since going digital, Ive used my 35mm less and less but I plan on using it this weekend to take some outdoor shots. I would like to know what is the best outdoor film. I want good color representation as well as the best image quality I can get.

Unless I have my own darkroom and time I may go back to film, but probably never. Digital, with a good lens, good post processing skill, and may be a help of polarize filfer then you should be good to go digital. If you don't have one of the top_of_the_line_lens then I would suggest to get one to enjoy the quality (will worth the time and money), and good lens and good camera won't go very far with good post processing skill. >> Ever since going digital, Ive used my 35mm less and less but I plan on using >> it this weekend to take some outdoor shots.

What question do you think you were answering? ;-) What's "film"? > >> Ever since going digital, Ive used my 35mm less and less but I plan on using > >> it this weekend to take some outdoor shots.

Personally I like Ilford Pan F Plus 50 for landscapes. I suspect you want colour though. ;-) Many people like Fuji Velvia 50 (discontinued but still available in some places) but it isn't really honest about the colour; tending to saturate more than real life. Lovely colourful slides though. >> Ever since going digital, Ive used my 35mm less and less but I plan on using >> it this weekend to take some outdoor shots.

Sensia 100 is excellent Ill be photographing some ancient rock art and the colors are kind of muted. Im not even sure what speed I should use..Im thinking in the neighborhood of 200 or so. Is the faster film less grainy than it was a decade or so ago? I used Ilford Pan years ago for B/W and it is quite nice, but youre right, I want color. Thanks for your reply.

Whatever you use you are in the hands of the lab you use, but personally I still like the very wide range of tones offered by Fuji Reala if you are shooting neg. If transparency I like Fuji Provia for the same reasons. If you like higher saturation then go for the 50 ASA Velvia. Hope this helps...

I've used top grade Kodak film and cheapie stuff from Walgreens over the last couple of years and I don't see any difference. |
