- I have a couple of questions about colour balance.
-
- Given that I am using common daylight balanced C41 print film,
- and wish to take pictures using available electric light,
- which blue filter should I use?
-
- The electric lights are a variety of incadescent bulbs and
- discharge lights seem in the street. I assume the number 80
- filter has A,B,C variations to cater for the various color
- temperatures of different artifical light sources.
-
- As I may have daylight pictures on the same roll I would like
- to stick with standard processing and printing, and use the filter(s)
- when needed. I realise that if all exposures were under the same
- lighting conditions the printer could correct for the
- yellowish light.
-
- What if I want to combine a long exposure with artifical light,
- using the blue filter, and add a flash for freezing motion or
- lighting the subject? Is there a yellow gel that compliments the
- blue filter, that can be placed over the flash?
