TPF Noob!
Is the total color range able to be captured in a single shot mostly a function of the film???
How much does the lens affect it and how can I maximize the dynamic range in a single shot???
Why I ask is this .... I am interested in using juxtoposition of colorful manmade objects (like constuction cones and bright street singns and even neon signs) and fall foliage.
I find it all but impossible to get the darker/earthier foliage colors to expose vividly without blowing out the really bright stuff like orange constuction cones or bright street signs or the sky sometimes .... or vice versa, getting good vivid bright tones but muddy or worse with the darker earthier stuff.
I know sometimes two separate pictures exposed for different ends of the spectrum can solve this.
I realize also the choice of film is very important to get the maximum color range but is ther any thing i can do exposure-wise to maximise the capture???
Is it possible to squeeze more range out (for a given film) but using smaller arp / longer time .... or large arpeture / shorter time?????????
