    Slide/Colour film holiday recommendations

    Thanks for the feedback on the pics, glad it's been of some use and that they seem to have been enjoyed too, always on the look out for tips and advice on how to do things better of course – of the films I took I have to say the Ektar was the one which surprised and pleased the most, at least...

    Finally, some Ektar 100 pics – worth noting all of these are untouched from the original scans (forget who developed and scanned them now actually)

    The Portra 400 drew the short straw for pics around Calgary when it was affected by the smoke

    Next up some Superia 400, not fog in the pics by the way it's smoke from a forest fire near Washington that drifted as far as Calgary!

    Ok, lets start off with a few Superia 200 pics – no prizes for guessing these were all taken in Vancouver/Jasper/Banff in 23-26 degree heat by the way!

    Apologies but for one reason or another neglected to post a few of the pics up following the recommendations here – where's the best place to upload some pics to link for showing on here?

    S oI placed an order with Mathers, great service from them it should be said, went for a couple rolls of Ektar, Provia, Precisa, Superia 400 and Portra 400 – also discovered three rolls of Superia 200 which are well in date still as a bit of a bonus! Just hoping that the weather turns out good...

    I had a look at a reciprocity failure article, interesting read and I'll have to have a further look at that and try and take it in a bit more – I've got the above link for Mathers working and it looks like they've got stock of the Ektar, Portra, Precisa & Provia that have been mentioned in...

    Certainly looks like I came to a knowledgeable place to ask this and future questions! I'm liking the sound of the Ektar, pretty sure I have shot with Provia once before albeit some time ago now, so those are looking like two good picks. I hadn't thought of B&W for the city shots I have to say...

    Thanks for the replies so far, some much appreciated suggestions! It will be a case of shooting hand held, no tripod on this one – when it comes to the Ektar how much over-exposure would be "standard" to do with it, or more a case of it being dependent on the weather at the time of taking the...

    Slide/Colour film holiday recommendations

    Hi, just looking for recommendations for some slide/35mm colour film for a summer trip to Canada, been a while since I bought some so I'm not fully up on what brands/makes are still going. The photos I'll be looking to take will be largely scenic/landscapes and some city, if that helps. Last...
