Example: Lady in soap bubble bath you can get away with the "wrong film under the wrong light"! What I mean is the warmth of the film goes with the warmth of the scene, similarily have shot diners by candle light and incandecent light with daylight film and it's beautiful. In other words the success dictates wherever you have a warm fuzzy feeling type of situation you can get away with the eye and viewers accepting the warmer effect created by the daylight balanced film under incandescent lighting. By the same token trying to use it in a non warm and fuzzy situation and it looks lousy, as though you made a mistake and used the wrong film. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
