I'm trying to learn color this year and have decided to teach myself on Agfa CT Precisa 100 (bad choice for this time of year). The film came back today. This is how cold it was last week: http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v01-0017.jpg So I asked my wife to step outside so I could test how skin tones behaved in the snow. She put on a sweater: http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v01-0018.jpg But believe me, ASA 100 doesn't get you very far up here. This was right before it snowed. 1/8 sec @ f2.0: http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v01-0020.jpg I leaned against a tree. No tripod.
