I'm not entirely sure what comes for good exposure, but this is my first couple of attempts to shoot with slides.

Slide used: Kodak Elite Chrome

All shot with CV 35mm/f1.2





The above two shots of the same bridge seem to be differing by about 0.5EV and seem to produce different tones of color, but I'm not sure if the exposure considered "OK" or rather off. Some of my shots taken seem to fair poorly when there's way too much constrast between the sunlight and shadows (it was a rather typical bright San Franciscan day).

nice shots, prefer the 2nd one.. what did u meter both shots at? in-cam meter or handheld? I've had far worse exposure issues with slide film.. ;(

Thanks! The 2nd one is better? I thought the 2nd one is tad underexposed. :bsmilie:

I used the TTL meter in my Bessa R2M. I tended to be conservative with my metering and often either metered just at 0EV or -0.5EV.

I have other slide shots which... I think no amount of metering would have saved it. The shadows were dark, the sun lit areas were too bright...

EDIT: Here's the shot in question:

EDIT: Here's the shot in question:

I believe this is the Oakland Bay Bridge, going into Yerba Buena Island, seen from the Embarcadero, in early morning? There are two separate but related things going on here.

Firstly, one cannot retain good shadow detail in a high contrast scene if using a high contrast slide film. If shadows detail is important a lower contrast slide film like Fuji Astia (unfortunately now discontinued) with its greater latitude, will help.

Secondly, the dynamic range of slides are beyond the capability of all consumer grade scanners, including the CCD scanners used in minilabs. The dense shadow areas, even if you can see the detail under a loupe, will mostly scan as noise. It is a limitation of the technology. Only a drum scan, or a Imacon Flextight scan, can dig into those deep shadows.

There is no "good or better" exposure when it comes to slides. It depends on your intent, what you want the scene to translate as, given the shooting conditions.

as LKSC said, it's tough with such extremes in the same scene and know your film.

just wanted to add another note, consider how you want to view your slides as well. if you would like to mount them and view them using a slide projector, you should underexpose it a little (1/3EV). as you have already seen, 1/3 - 1/2 can be a world of difference.

Underexposure will give you denser, heavier shadows. It isn't always bad, depending on the intended effect.

If you are familiar with the work of Alex Webb, his signature, moody style is/ was achieved in part by underexposing Kodachrome by 1/3 of a stop, yielding areas of heavy black shadows. That look has influenced/ been mimicked by a lot of others, eg. Tommy Oshima.

Yeah, Embarcadero. Hmm... that might explain why the picture somehow looked better when I look at the slide directly rather than on the scan. I guess I should take more care with the constrast of the scene in future then.
