I shoot wedding and senior grads for a living and use FUJI PRO 160 S 220
film...now, i have been asked to shoot a car clubs cars.....now since i
have never shot cars before...what film would you recomend that i use
and why......i already know where i'm shooting, i have permission to
shoot on the grass in a park with lots of trees for sunlight cover....i
just have to wait for the leaves to pop out....
now some of you may be saying...shoot digital....no thank you...i like
film....just asking for some help from you guys that may have done this
yourselves......

Car types presumably like snappy colors and lots of contrast. Velvia 100F is
what I'd try first. It's very fussy/unforgiving about exposure, though. I
shot a lot of it for a while, but went back to Provia, which has enough snap
crackle and pop for my needs and the highlights don't burn holes in the
stuff quite so badly.

Fuji _claim_ it's their most color-accurate slide film. It gets a bad rep
amongst landscape types, who want the dizzy Velvia 50 colors. But that makes
it the right thing for cars.
