Then apply your filters digitally to find the color that gets you the closest to your desired look. Take a color photo of the moss and stuff and bring it into Photoshop. Take notes of what you are doing as a way of establishing the best setting.Ĭlick to expand.Actually, that's probably a good idea. I can only think of Portra 160 under exposed a bit, otherwise give an E6 film a fling with a polariser in the forest. Not all films record the shades of green-yellow peculiar to moss and lichen an example is the long-gone dreaded E6 emulsion, Velvia 100F (not relationship to Velvia 50) which muddled greens, yellows and reds to the point they looked like sandwich mustard, 10 day old avocado and beetroot, to say nothing to pasty greens.
The stronger the primaries in the film palette, the better the effect.
Greens can be made to 'pop' (with care and experience and awareness of the light you are working in!) by using a polariser, providing of course you also 'hedge' the exposure (+) to prevent a dull, flat and largely unappealing scene. I have shot forest/rainforest scenes for decades (just back in the door from a weekend full of such photography), and making scenes eye-catching and poppy (without being overdone) is pretty much an art form, rather than a easy given.
