So, does anyone know of any photographers either here on photo.net or
elsewhere on the web who have experimented with using
tungsten-balanced film to effect in daylight and posted the results?
I'd love to see if anyone has fudged around and managed to produce
interesting results or effects...

Interesting results, yes.
Good pictures? Not often.
The pictures have a 'mood' that sets them apart. You have to want that mood and exploit it creatively otherwise it is wasted.
Experimentation is the only way to find out for yourself.

This was shot for a movie using tungsten film during the late afternoon.
This intention was to look like moonlight. A little extra blue was added in post
production, but not much.
The backlight is done with 5600K spot lights (daylight balanced HMI lights)
The quality is low as this is a frame capture from the video transfer.

Place an 80A filter over your lens with daylight films,and you can achieve the same "special"(ugly blue) effect.

Thanks all for your replies.
BG: Interesting.
Eric: Cool - I'm about to head over to your portfolio in search of more examples.
Mike: That second photo is kind of what I had in mind - using the cooler blues to enhance emptiness or something sad and lonely.

I don't know if he still does, but in his 1994 "The Art of Photography", Bruce Barnbaum claims to use Ektachrome 64T with an 85B filter. What he gains is a color-correct scene with a long contrast range.

Interesting, I just found Bruce's website. Thanks for the heads up, Michael.

Can't remember where or when (sorry for the vagueness) but I saw a very impressive fashion shoot once in which the photographer had used tungsten film in daylight, about half a stop underexposed but with fill-in flash with a warm-up gel over the flash tube. So the models in the foreground were naturally balanced but the background had a marvellous coldness. Nowadays they'd probably do it in Photoshop but at the time I was really impressed.
