Slide film, Specifically Fuji Velvia, is a very popular film to shoot. "Because its surprisingly rich color palette delivered vibrant hues even under dismal lighting conditions, many pros and advanced amateurs wouldn't think of going on a slide-shooting assignment without it." "With slides, however, what you shot is what you get. Period. The sharpness, the color, the exposure, all of these return to you exactly as you shot them. If they are good, the skill and art you put into them at the time of exposure is preserved; if they are bad, you've no one to blame but yourself."
