Slide
Film Overview:
The processing for
slide film is different than print film in that the negative
is the final product. The image that I create in the camera
is directly reflected in the final transparency. The result
is both empowering and humbling. It is empowering to have
complete control over the exposure that you obtain without
someone else at the lab (or a computer) overcompensate the
exposure of the image. The results are humbling in that any
errors in your judgment of the exposure required to capture
the image is immediately apparent and, for the most part,
permanent. It is possible in this digital age to save some
transparencies that are slightly over or under exposed, but
a great image will almost always start with a properly exposed
image.
I have tried a few
types of slide film and will describe my feelings on each
of them below. Generally Fuji makes great slide film. I hope
that you will make sure and go out and try different types
of film for yourself as preferences vary greatly from photographer
to photographer.
