This thread is about negative films, not transparencies. The reason is I don't want this thread to degenerate into yet another "negative vs. tranny" thread. Humor me please
I'm curious about what kind of light people like for landscape work. I know some people like to work only in cloudy conditions no matter what. Some like to work with direct sunlight. What kind of lighting do you like, and why?
Since I'm starting this thread, I should probably go first. I like direct sunlight with B&W because I like the contrast and like to show the textures that are often not noticed. With color film I like more subdued lighting (cloudy to weak direct light) because color is another tool to use to tell the story and having lots of contrast and showing lots of texture often feels like I'm overloading the image.
So... what kind of lighting to you like and why?
