: You're kidding, right? the last thing you want (if you want anything
: resembling reasonable skin tones) is more red light, especially if
: you're using daylight film. I've taken pictures of performers
: illuminated largely by red light and they look ghastly - sometimes they
: look almost like cardboard cut-outs standing out from the rest of the
: picture. Well I don't like the effect anyway.
Same experience here. Sometimes when you're in smaller clubs there's no light
show at all, just a couple of continuous spot lights. And when these lights are
(mainly) red you know you can forget about colour film. If you don't have any
fast B&W film, the only way to make such shots acceptable it to scan them and
convert to B&W.
This shot for example

looked really impossible in color (Fuji Press 800).
