What filter should I use for my Canon Rebel 2000SLR to reduce purple haze in church wedding. Dresses are pink. |
The wedding is in a 200 seat, medium rise church, the walls are off-white with maroon borders. The carpet is deep purple mixed with maroon. The bridesmaid dresses are rose pink with honeydew sash. Looking at previous photos taken at the church, the deep colors of the carpet become a medium purple. I do not like this purple, and I don't want to affect the natural colors of everything else, but I would like to try and reduce this purpleness. There will be a professional photographer too, but this is for my own pictures. I assume the lighting is incadescent. I have a 58mm Canon. I will probably order a filter from Porters.com. What filter should I get and what is the best film (is there some negative film and what is that)??? There are very few filters that can selectively change the colors on certain parts of the scene, and none that I know of that would work in your situation. The best thing I can suggest is to use a low-contrast professional negative film, which also will tend to give really natural colors, and overexpose it slightly to give the lab a little bit more density to work with when correcting the colors. For your purposes, I would suggest using Kodak Portra 160 NC, Portra 400 NC. If you prefer Fuji, I would suggest 160S or 400H. Kodak Portra 800 and Fuji 800Z are also really low contrast for a high-speed film. If you're concerned about color, too, you can also just use black and white. If the paid pro will be shooting in color, some black and white shots taken by another photographer can really complement what the pro gets. For traditional black and white film, Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP-5+(both ASA 400) are hard to beat. If you don't want to fool with traditional black and white materials, Kodak TMAX400-CN and Ilford XP2 Super can both be processed by any minilab. I happen to prefer XP2, although both are great. First, if you use a filter to color correct the carpeting, it will over correct everything else. Try adjusting your shutter speed, etc... If your talking about a lot of extraneious light causing glare, from whatever sources, try a polarizing filter. Do a test shoot prior to the wedding if you can get into the church. I bet the pastor wont mind. Try different settings, and keep track of your settings for each shot. Film, when processed, is the "negative" you get back from the processor. |
