POLL: Do you still shoot and project slides?

[AutumnJazz]

Why wouldn't you shoot slide film?

Wheres the poll?

I shoot and project. I need to get a screen though.

I shoot most of my color in slides - Velvia, Kodak 100UC mostly.

I do have a nice projector, but find that in most places it's easier to scan the slides to JPG and project them via a computer.

That way there's no jamming, upside down images, etc.

It is always nice though, to spend an evening with a glass of wine viewing slides on a projector and a group of friends you love. Somehow the feeling is lost with digital images.

I still shoot, process, mount and project my own slides. It is probably the most enjoyable process that I do. I have started shooting more 6x9 Ektachrome in the past couple of years and really enjoy viewing them on a light box. I am lucky enough to be able to process sheet film up to 5x7 and I have yet to see anything compare to a large format transparency on a light box.

Leica pradovit P150 is a nice alternative for television for my kids. But only once in two to three months. All important things for my family is captured to film.

But I will stop developing my slide films at home. Tetenal chemistry is hard to get, and it is not cheap. And results in my ATL-1000 are not the same. Not to mention, that chemistry, once mixed, have very short life.

[Jedidiah Smith]

Yes, still shoot primarily slide film, and project. I also like to look at the slides on a light box - nothing like looking at a perfect slide through a loupe!

In March I shot about 150 photos onto Ektachrome for a slide show which was accompanied by music. This was for a family celebration and it may be the last actual slide show which many of those present will ever see. A few slides which were not copies of photos were also in the show. I have seen digital presentations with LCD projectors but none of them came close to the quality of projected slides. As long as slide film and processing for it remains available I would like to keep shooting and projecting at least some slides.

Yes indeed ! Kodachrome 35mm, Hanimex projector (200mm f/2.8 lens, 500watt),
Dailite 5'x6' screen, blows you away !

No.That story belongs to my early years in photography.Then I realized that it was better for me to see movies in the dark instead of my slides.And so the slide-story ended twenty years and so.
