Default Boots Process Paid Slide Film

A few months back I picked up three rolls of Boots (Fuji?) 36 exp asa200 process paid slide film for £1 per box and arrived home tonight from Dundee to find a thick white envelope waiting for me behind the door.

Looks like I will have the light box and projector out tonight!

Kind regards,

ft

So you got 36 processed slides for £1? Wow! Now that's what I call a bargain

Having now had a good look at my slides over the weekend it struck me to ask, "Why am I a better film photographer than pixel photographer?".

Better composition, better exposures, better colours, even straight horizons! Overall a better feeling of joy, satisfaction, contentment and even, dare I say it, of art making.

It is really very odd; somehow I am able to "get into the zone" with film that completely eludes me in pixel photography.

Telling, isn't it?

Kind regards,

ft

I may be only half scottish but a deal like that gives me a worm feeling in my wallet, cherish a bargain like that they don't come along that often
seeing as you are on a lucky streak pop in the corner shop and get a lottery ticket .(only one, no need to go mad ).......
I find with film it is more precious, so I think of every shot.........
