Hi

Quick question,

Is a 3200K tungsten lamp considered corrected for use with outdoor film?

ie: Is it cool enough?

Cheers

IIRC daylight film is designed for noon sun - approx 5600k. I think flash is also designed to be approx the same colour temp.

For a 3200k lamp on digital you'd be wanting a Tungsten WB setting - for daylight I would think that there's a filter required

I think it's a little late to be thinking about your credibility now, we all know you far too well. Will it let you 'get down with the kids'? I think not.

Daniel, you scamp!!

I almost added "Am I cool enough?", but thought better of it.

Turns out I needn't have worried.

I owe ya one!

Dexter, thanks for your input!

I owe you one as well, and it'll be way nicer than the one I give ol' Dan!!!
