yeah pretty spot on there skizza. go to your photographics shop and grab a bunch of different films (cheap, expensive, everything inbetween) and just go nuts.
but try write down what you have done/did when you shot each one. that way u can get a sweet log of what films are dope and what isnt worth your time.
slide is a bit of a bitch. and it realllllly depends on where you get it processed as to how good the final results are. NEVER take it to a cheap chemist 1hour place to get it done, because you will end up with massively saturated pieces of crap lol. often very red or very blue. and it can be upsetting when u miss out on the shots you took. but yer, slide is a moody son of a bitch thats for sure.
