I am looking for a recommendation for shooting fall foliage and landscape
pictures. Film will be processed in a "good" normal lab. I currently use Fuji
Reala 100, Fuji Superia 400, and Press 800 for all my photography, and get
excellent results from these.

Thanks for your ideas.

Hello....

I live part time in Florida and part time in northern Montana. I find
that while Reala does best with the color in southern Florida, pastels,
sea over coral, etc., Royal Gold works best with the browns, brownish
reds, yellow oranges, darker greens and wheat/straw toned yellows of
Montana. The reflection off the Montana dirt, forrests and planted
fields seems to color the daylight a slightly different hue than the
white sands, corals, sea waters and pastel house and roof colors of
Florida. I certainly get a different color temperature from my color
meter, but I think it is more and different than shows on the color
meter.

I've had enough disappointment from Kodak. I've had brand new film bad
right out of the box. I've had terrible processing from Kodak Premium
Processing. I've gotten an arrogant answer to my e-mail to them asking
them to reconsider dropping Royal Gold ISO 25. Now they drop the only
truely unique film they had left, Kodachrome ISO 25, my favorite since
1963. So I renamed my log-on signature and say to them...

Goodbye Kodak!

Try Fuji Velvia (ISO 50) or Kodak E100VS (ISO 100). From my experience,
these films punch up the colors and do well with fall foliage.

I would suggest using those film that you are already happy with -
they are some of the best films around for color prints - probably the
Fuji Reala 100 is the most suitable here -- that is unless you have
some doubts about their performance.

You might want to check out these sites:

Popular Photography's annual film guide:

or Bill Tuthill's excellent film characteristics table -

For landscapes and autumn foliage many people prefer to shoot slides -
since you seem to like Fuji's colors you might consider

Fuji Provia 100F or Fuji Velvia 50
