What is the best kind of film for shooting on rainy days?

I shoot black and white and i want to shoot in ireland but i don't know what kind of film to use. I've heard that 200 tmax kodak film is pretty good all around.|||It all depends on the look and feel you want to achieve.


If you want a gutsy, edgy feel with some bite then T-max is great.


If you want smoother, more subtle gradations then Ilford has wonderful emulsions for you.


Consider using filters to help penetrate haze and improve contrast. Pale yellow (haze) and pale salmon (UV) would be basic essentials. In some conditions and for a special look consider a full yellow or even a light orange.


Have an enjoyable and rewarding shoot.|||There is no TMax 200 -- only TMax100, TMax400 and TMax 3200 . For rainy days/ medium-light situations, TMax400 is probably best, but they are all superb films for their uses.





Some folks don't care for it because the negatives do look more "dull" (for a lack of a better term) than silver-rich negatives, but the final prints from TMax film have great tonality and very low grain.|||Really any good fine grain black and while film is good.





The key when shooting under cloudy skies is to add about 20% to the development time to increase the contrast lost when shooting under clouds associated with rain, etc.





And yes, T-Max is excellent film.|||I never cared much for T-Grain technology. It seems to have a harsh look to it. You might try Ilford XP2, over exposed just a touch. It seems to do well on rainy days. It scans well and makes great prints straight from the negative as well.





BTW, I don't think T-Max comes in 200.|||:)|||Use 400 ISO film or higher.:)
