Jewelry Man Tungsten
Q.I'll have an assignment of indoor shot. Based on my last assignment (indoor), no-flash photo looked horrible. It's too yellowish. It was fine last time because I did scan the film and adjusted in photoshop.. but man! That's too much job. I think I need a tungsten film or blue-filter to correct the problem. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Speaking of tungsten film or filter, which one do you recommend? One reason that I would like to use tungsten film instead of filter is I don't lose f/stop. Also, can I develop the tungsten film at any shop (e.g., photo-mailer or Kodak lab center)? What tungsten film would you recommend? I need quite fast film (ISO 400 would be good)... no enlargement over 5x7.
A.I haven't tried tungsten film, but I do a lot of indoor photography (product, macro(coins & jewelry)) and use various lighting setups and have settled on a basically starter setup with 3 lights, 250w 3200k photofloods. I use an 80A and yes it does add some stops to the equation but in most all instances I am looking for DOF and must dial in more f-stop anyway., especially with my 1:1 macro setups. My advice is to try both ways and do which you like the best. I get great results with DL film and an 80A and a tripod. Kodak makes a 320 Tungsten film. You would lose two stops with an 80A filter - so it really makes sense to go with the tungsten film. Be aware that if your lighting will be household bulbs you will still be getting somewhat yellow results. Photofloods burn at a higher temp. It will be considerably easier to correct in Photoshop than daylight film though, and the slightly "warm" look is not unpleasant.
