Using Velvia with daylight type studio lighting
I purchased a 8 x 10 Deardorff a month or so ago along with a box of 50 sheets of 8 x 10 Daylight balance Velvia 100.
I would like to use a couple of sheets on some tabletop photography. My lighting system is a couple of daylight type spiral flourescent lights with diffusers, similar to these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triple-bulb-Da...4.c0.m14.l1262 I use these with my digital camera and the results seem OK in colour balance with the camera set to Daylight. I wonder if anyone has used daylight colour film with this type of lighting and if so what filtration to use. I don't want to waste any film, because, as you will know processing costs for 8 x 10 are around £6.00 / £10.00 a sheet. Thanks in advance for any replies. nn |

Um-get the same film in a smaller format/camera and try it out?

I like that, a nice example of lateral thinking, but maybe someone has a specific answer.

I will probably end up doing that anyway as I have some tabletop still lifes (or is it lives) pictures in mind to take for the club competition in the next few weeks. nn |

You may have colour problems, as I believe fluorescent tubes do not have a continuous spectrum. A colour meter would help if you can beg or borrow one.

The plural of "still-life" I suggest is "still-lifes" even though my spell-checker abhors it. |
