  2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

    More-subtle filters are needed to correct for the difference between, say 3200 K and 3400 K tungsten lamps or to correct for the slightly blue cast of some flash tubes, which may be 6000 K. [21] If there is more than one light source with varied color temperatures, one way to balance the color is to use daylight film and place color-correcting ...

  3. Tungsten film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_film

    When shot outdoors, tungsten film produces a strong blue cast, an effect which is often used purposely to create different color contrasts. In the motion picture industry the use of underexposed tungsten-balanced film in an outdoor setting is a common way of producing a " day for night " effect, whereby film shot during the daytime looks as if ...

  4. Film stock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_stock

    While black-and-white film has no color temperature itself, the silver halide grains themselves tend to be slightly more responsive to blue light, and therefore will have daylight and tungsten speeds — e.g. Kodak's Double-X stock is rated 250D/200T, since the tungsten light will give slightly less exposure than an equivalent amount of daylight.

    However, its most distinctive property is that it also changes color in artificial (tungsten/halogen) light compared to daylight. The color change from red to green is due to strong absorption of light in a narrow yellow portion of the spectrum, while allowing large bands of more blue-green and red wavelengths to be transmitted. Which of these ...

  6. Day for night - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_for_night

    To give a bluer appearance to scenes filmed in color, some techniques use 3200K tungsten-balanced rather than 5000K daylight-balanced film stock. [4] The tungsten balance renders artificial lighting (street lights, headlights, lit windows, etc.) as white and unlit areas as "moonlight blue."

    At that time, 38,000 feet — roughly seven miles — of copper wire had been purloined from the 6th Street Bridge, probably fetching about $11,000, De León said. He estimated fixing the lights ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    Tungsten has the highest available melting point, but brittleness was a big obstacle. By 1910, a process was developed by William D. Coolidge at General Electric for production of a ductile form of tungsten. The process required pressing tungsten powder into bars, then several steps of sintering, swaging, and then wire drawing. It was found ...
