Hi all,
I'm trekking into the mountain rainforest this weekend to shoot some general rainforest images and also to capture some rare orchids. I'm taking Fuji Velvia and Fuji RMS and as it'll be a while before the orchids flower again I don't want to mess up this opportunity.
Depending on whether there is cloud cover or not there can be quite a range of exposure in the forest. I haven't used the RMS before in this situation (low light/rainforest) so any tips from anyone familar with this film and also any ideas on EI and processing to help extend the latitude of Velvia would be appreciated. To try to maintain the highlight values and get detail in the shadows, I thought I might try exposing for the shadow areas and then underdevelop by about one stop - any comments?
Thanks in adavnce.
Kind regards Peter Brown
