Im gonna be visiting an orthodox church and i want to capure pictures with prominent earthy tones, super saturated reds, yellows and gold. Wouldnt mind if it has some balanced blue tones too.
I think the place will be ok lit, but it wont get much sunlight i think. What filmstock do you guys suggest?
Ektar 100 and kodak color pluss are the only ones i can think of. Which one is superior in this case?

Personally I rate Kodak Pro Image 100 as the best film stock for reds. Hopefully this gives you an idea, metered ttl.

It could be very dark. Are you going to use a tripod? If not, and it is too dark, you'll just be out of luck unless you use the fastest film you can find which will probably just be Portra 800.
P800 does have good colors but due to its speed it'll have a fair bit of grain.

yeah i realized this after the fact. but i can't really use a tripod or flash because its a place of worship! it would be much too disrespectful of me. Better luck next time i suppose. Now i know that at least.

Photographing at all is idolatry so why not? Bring a few 600w strobes and tell them they symbolize the light of christ. Tell them the tripod represents the steadfastness of jesus’ love in the face of sin. Enjoy your photos.

I just use a tripod when I take photos in my church(es)
either way something you'll have to be careful of is white balance
I don't know of any church that's lit with high-CRI white lighting, at best you're going to get something like tungsten (picrel)

… or whatever this is, that p800 reacted very poorly to (the lighting looks closer to tungsten irl)

>Piss yellow-green
I generally don't color-correct but tried it out here and that's what it turned out to be yeah
haven't had a problem with my digital camera that I've noticed, but I've taken less digital photos in churches
