My Film Study

It is a grand old question among amateur photographers: slide or print? When I got back my first roll of slides (Fuji Velvia), the vibrant colors made me speechless, and I made my New Year Resolution for 1997: I will be shooting slides exclusively. I am not the kind of person who wishfully makes resolutions. I need reasons to believe. After one year of shooting slides, I am very settled, and here is my reasoning.

• Tale of Two Films: compare slide and print films side-by-side
• Slide vs. Print: Enlargements: compare enlargements made from slides and negatives
• Home Internegging: explore and document in detail an el cheapo way of making interneg at home for 4x6 prints. This one is split into 4 smaller pieces for easy loading:
  • Part I: Preamble & Round One
  • Part II: Round Two
  • Part III: Round Three
  • Part IV: Back to Great Debate & Conclusions

• Short Reviews of Films from a Velvia-addict's point of view.
• Fumbling with Film Processing: My experience with some photo labs, and my ratings of them.
