Slide Film Up in Elora

 I confess, I don't shoot a lot of slide film, Kodak Ektar 100 is pretty reasonable and I can get the Kodachrome look without having to hijack a TARDIS and go back to 1972. Slide film is expensive to buy, Kodak E100 is about $28 per roll while Fuji Provia 100 is roughly $8 cheaper if you can find it, most stores are out of stock on that. I had one roll of each and went up to Elora with my Canon New F-1AE. The weather forcast was for a sunny day, well that was the forcast reality was we got a ton of high altitude haze from the forest fires in Northern Ontario. 

Shooting slide film is a different beast, pretty much like you are shooting digitally as you are metering for the highlights as not to blow them out. Didn't have that problem today, that said waiting for the slides to come back from processing by Dave Nardi at E6it was worth the wait. My Canon New F-1's are coming north with me this year, if the trip up to Billie Bear is a go. 

There is a difference between E100 and Provia 100F,  you can tell below with the Jeep pickup truck shots. Granted the E100 was shot in the morning while the Provia 100 was shot after lunch, that said the hazy sky leveled the playing field. I want to shoot more slide film, especially Provia 100 before Fuji decides to come up with story to explain why its being discontinued which some friends predict might happen within the next year or two.

Now here's the same Jeep Pickup shot on Fuji Provia 100, in fact everything below is Provia 100.
