Im going to do a photo project in the mountains. It will be shot on film. Now, what is the better option, color negative or slide? Ive seen lots of color neg documentary work, specially portra, it behaves pretty well and its management of contrast is outstanding. But is a look we all know by this time, its pretty predictable id say. Will slide film be a safe aproach? I love the slide look, but i dont know if itll be able to manage the changing light conditions.

pic unrelated.

Pic is gorgeous.

Slide would be my choice. Also, slide is not finicky as it sounds. If you know how to meter, it'll be alright. Of course, in a contrasty situation, either will something blow out (looks bad) or something will be cast in shadow (usually looks good); so follow the rules of thumb.

Colors, especially greens and blues, will have much much more depth on slide film.

I'd rather shoot provia over a color film, and let the shadows fall into black, any day of the week.

You might be surprised about how much details you can pull out of the shadows of slide film.
