very nice

i was wondering which parts are 200 and which 500

also did you use a filter to compensate for the film being tungsten balanced but used in daylight?

[mrtreve]

hey thanks.

the 500 was used on the low light stuff, i can't remember shot for shot...

i used the built in correction filter apart from the for some of the really dark stuff where i needed the extra exposure.

That's right. A daylight filter or 85b filter if you want to get technical.

Wow, that looks great.

I have recently purchased a beaulieu 3008, never used film before and shot a few test rolls to varying degrees of success.

When using 200t and 500t stock, inside and out, typically what should i be setting the ASA dial to on the camera(i realise conditions will affect this, but is there a rule of thumb or starting point)? I have been leaving the auto exposure on for now until i get more adept.

many thanks

hey mark, my camera actually automatically registers the sensitvity of the film.

if your camera has an ASA dial then just dial in the speed of the film (ASA 200 for 200T and ASA 500 for 500T). So you change it to match your film not the conditions.

if your camera has a built in daylight filter it should compensate for any light loss automatically.

setting the ASA just tells the camera how sensitive you film is.

make sense?

[iliketea333]

does the built in light meter register for different ASA

for example if you put in 500T after 200T will it recognize that and meter correctly for the 500?

[mrtreve]

yep the camera automatically metered with the correct asa. it did a really good job with all the kodak stocks.

I'm in love.

I wish my life was a super 8 movie

[stevedexteruk]

Yes a nice film. Well done. I cant believe how good that 500 stock looks in low light. How dark was it? or was it twilight?I am thinking of doing a super8 short soon and will give these two stocks a try. Nice idea using them to go from day to night. And yea the red coat is nice.

[iliketea333]

so your camera has a filter for filming tungsten balanced film in daylight?

i would like to know because the colors here are very nice and the vision films especially the 500 would be very usefull in dark outdoors shots. like at sunset

I really enjoyed what you've done here.
