Hi folks,
I'm wondering how Portra (160 or 400) would fare vs. digital during a wedding in full sun. Of course the problem is the contrast ratio between shadows and sunlit side. In digital, I would expose for highlights (as I've always done). I'm wondering whether film might provide a better shadow detail by slightly overexposing for sunlit side.
I'd be shooting the M9 or Canon 5D on the digital side and an M6 loaded with Portra on the film side.
Oh, and this is not my first wedding...just to avoid any of that advice. I can capture enough images even with film and digital going on!
Looking forward to feedback as my film experience is pretty much BW and pulling/pushing that. I don't have easy access to anything other than C41 at standard development times.
