I personally think that winter and bad weather is the best moment to test very saturated color films like Ultra 100 or Portra UC. In summer colors are allready saturated enough and I prefer to use soft color films like Portra NC or Reala.
I ran my first two rolls of Ultra 100 this week-end, deep into the forest then on the atlantic shore by an awful weather : windy, rainy and with an almost black sky. The results will be interesting because the light was real crappy and flat at the beginning (working at f/2 - f/2.8, 1/60) and finally the sun came up from behind the clouds and with the sand of the beach I ended the roll shooting at f/8 1/250. I am not a color neg fan but I'll post my first impressions on ultra 100 when I get the prints this week.
