Slide (e6) film, or reversal film, has negatives that are actually positives. By this I mean that they don’t do the normal reversed black and white thing you see on your c41 negatives, but rather look like miniature versions of the photo itself. This is probably very familiar to anyone who had to sit through old family slide shows as a kid or had one of these.
In any case, keeping with this month’s “Contrast” theme, I thought I’d share some recent slide film images so you could see just what we are talking about with the added contrast. These images were all shot on Fujifilm RVP 100f on a Hasselblad 500c/m.
Happy contrasty snapping!

Contrasty goodness! Love these, Cara.
Oh, I know there’s more contrast, but the COLOR! Nothing, but nothing, makes colors sing like slide film. And you found some breathtaking natural color for it.
So true!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Slides are tiny gods among us. Definitely my favorite type of color film!
Mmmm, delish images. Love the contrast!
really great. I love to see this and your love of film is inspiring.
