Re: [APML] Again: Meteor Photography

["Philipp Salzgeber" <philipp@salzgeber.at>]

Hi Brian,

Provia 400 has quite good reciprocity failure characteristics. I want to expose as long as possible to catch as many as
meteors as possible. A film with bad reciprocity failure allows much longer exposure before the sky-background becomes
too bright. The meteors expose themselves only for a very short time, so you donīt need good reciprocity failure
characteristics for them...

a good film for meteor photography is NOT a good film for deep-sky work

Any experience with the "improved" Fuji 800 color-negative?

with best regards

Philipp Salzgeber
