Hi Adam that was indeed a very f a s t answer, thanks. I should have mentioned that I would like to see some people shots (skin) and would like to see them much bigger on my 1280 x960 monitor. I simple can't judge the quality of the film or grain with your shots, the sky seems quite grainy but that could be the result of a long exposure?
So, does anybody have portrait shots in artificial light on high speed film (not denoised, unsharpened) and a film brand recommendation for European customers? thanks a lot. greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Adam Maas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 10:44 PM >>To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Subject: Re: Which high speed film for indoor shots ? was:RE: How do you >>selectyour camera for the day? was >> >> >>Here's some unpushed TMax 3200 in available light: >> >>http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawz/tags/3200tmz/ >> >>-Adam >> >> >> >>Markus Maurer wrote: >>> Hi Herb >>> Welcome from my side first ;-) >>> Could you post samples of unpushed ISO 3200 indoor shots with the Ilford >>> 3200 film or other brands from ISO 800-3200 in available light? >>> Unpushed, because I would have to send it to a "very standard" lab for >>> developping. >>> I plan a photo shooting on the 10 of april with celebrities indoor in a >>> (gladly white) tent and would like not to use flash at all.
