Pushing film

In short, apart from those that you've probably know, study zone system and learn how to use spot metering on your camera. You need to have the total control over the exposure .

Try to empty a roll of slide first to get a feel how is it like .

For a start, what kind of slides should I shoot with? brand etc

Hmm.. nothing in mind also, may be try with some cheaper one like Sensia 100/200/400 (ISO100 = $6?) for learning purpose. Pick a ISO that you're more comfortable to work with. My 1st roll was Velvia 50.. very difficult to use for a start, tripod almost a must.. VERY SLOW!! :bsmilie: (I was using mainly ISO200 and 400 that time).
