But this quality of light thing has always fascinated me. I can go to Montana or Arizona or the California desert and see with my bare eyes, a distinctively different quality to the morning and afternoon light there. And I have often said that while I prefer the slower color films in the desert...if I still lived in the midwest or south. EI of 64 or 80 might be the slowest film I would use. Is there something vastly different about the vegetation in the midwest and south that changes the color temperature there during certain seasons? I don't know, but I have always suspected there was something in that air...I can show you some summer shots from around Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee that would make you think the air does have a greenish haze... --DRB ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
