You shot over 300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, that's a lot of shooting.
Hope
the speed tips worked for you. You couldn't resist using all types of
film,
could you? Next time use portra 400VC for everything. You gain virtually
nothing with the 160 and you lose approximately 1 1/2 stops (my figures,
not
Kodak's ... remember 160 is really 100, 400 is really 250). Those are
valuable for depth of field and using a less powerful flash.
Remember...when
you are shooting people, use flash for everything to fill eye sockets
and act
as a general fill light.
Hello again Roger,
The 300 (actually about 350 - 370) shots were of the whole wedding day,
so many were of the reception, the house before the ceremony, the car
trimmed, etc.
Also the roll of Royal Gold 400 was just at the reception, so it was not
so important. You are right, the next time I would just shoot with the
portra 400. The reason I used vc instead of nc in the 400 is because it
was on sale. It seemed fine to me, but some have said to me they like nc
better. I'm not that picky.
I did use some flash, mostly because I was worried that the natural
lighting would be too grainy, or too dark. So I duplicated some poses,
by using both cameras, one with flash and one without. But that added to
the confusion. Not sure I'd recommend it. Also I wanted to duplicate to
better my chances of everyone having their eyes open, etc. As I've said
before, I normally do only scenics, flowers, vacations, etc., stuff that
doesn't matter if the film leader didn't quite get hooked on :-)
