By Kelly Paal, Fri Dec 9th
So you have this great new camera. Now you're standing in frontof a display of more film that you've ever seen. All you want todo is take some great family photos but you don't know where tostart. Here's short guide to help you get started. Film speed isa number that represents the film's sensitively to light. Thehigher the number the more sensitive to light, in that the lesslight is needed to take a well exposed photo. The number is alsoan indicator of the detail you will receive from the negative.The higher the number the more likely that you'll see agraininess to the print when enlarged. Film speed goes from 25to 1600 speed film. 25 to 200 Best for still life and portraitwork, in studio conditions where the lighting is controlled.This is not the film for family shots indoors even with a cameramounted flash. You'd really need a complete lighting set up touse this film effectively. 200 speed film is very good foroutdoor sunny conditions when you're trying to get a shot of abeautiful landscape. It offers excellent detail and colorsaturation. 400 Considered the all purpose film. Most filmstouted as all subject or general purpose are really 400 speedfilm. When in doubt use 400 speed film. Though you may still beusing your camera mounted flash in room lighting conditions.Also good for outdoor conditions, will give you some flexibilityin darker conditions and where you are trying to capture amoving subject. 800 to 1200 Made for capturing
fast movingsubjects in all types of lighting situations. People running,playing ball, etc. This is the film you want if you want tofreeze frame the action of a baseball game. This film speed canbe used for capturing fast moving wildlife, like birds, but youwill see less detail if you enlarge above a 16 by 20 size. 1600This film is for super high speed shots. Unless you shooting acar or boat race you probably won't need this film. Don't usethis for nature and landscape images the lack of detail will beobvious in enlargements. Most of the time you'll only need a 400speed film for basic snapshots. But it doesn't hurt to use theother speeds for special occasions, you'll notice a difference.
