So the question is: Which film renders both the crystal blue colours of
icebergs, the deep colours of the sparse greenlandic vegetation, the black
rocks and the immense amount of sky, and can cope with the high contrasts?
High contrast is a tall order for chromes. Have you tried Fuji Astia or
considered it?
I compared the characteristic curves between it and Provia 100F. Astia
looks a little longer in the toe of the curve (i.e. should have greater
latitude). It's more restrained in saturation, but accurate in
color. diffuse rms granularity of 10, about par for the E-6's in this speed.
For snowscapes I try to avoid warming, will err on the side of cooler tones
and would do the same with icebergs and glaciers. Which way you go depends
on your vision for it!
