I date this preference back to my crayon days when I >use to use up my black crayons while outlining each delinated section of >my coloring projects. I have always liked contrasty images for some reason as well, probably because at least with color slide film, the more contrast, the better color saturation, and I am big on colorful pictures, but until Dave pointed out that his slides had more detail in the shadow areas, and mine were sometimes difficult to scan, I didn't realize how contrasty they were. > But anyways here's my next question: Does Dave >consider your Baring Amtrak shot to be too contrasty.< I don't know. He seems to like that one (out of a thousand :) ). I used to try and pick films for given situations, but found myself wondering what would the result have been if I had used the other film. So I have been in search of the best all-around film, and although the Kodak Elite II 100 was pretty good, the Provia and Sensia are better for me because of their more neutral color cast. Once again, (in the world according to Dave) the Astia has less contrast, which would be better for shooting portraiture, (and my train pictures), because the film would show facial lines and defects much less. How much less contrast, I do not know.
