Slides have three-dimensional form and feel, because light doesn't just pass through the layers of emulsion, it bounces inside. This is also what made dye-transfer prints look so good. Sadly, that print technology is no more.
- throw46365 2y agoI shoot digital, and only black and white film, these days. (I need to build a darkroom so I can print again) But the thing that really hooked me deep into photography was 6x6 transparencies from a Rolleicord. Velvia, incident light meter, sunny day, job done. Downvotes on my earlier comment suggest that people haven't had this experience: no matter how great, practical and useful digital is, there is something mesmerising and emotional about a great transparency. These days I get my visceral buzz from assembling my own simple lenses.
- surfingdino 2y agoTry 8x10 transparencies. You will be hooked.
