Best Film Looks for Landscape
Saturation, microcontrast and deep skies — where slide film earned its reputation.
Landscape is the one genre where clipping highlights is often acceptable and saturation is usually welcome, which is why transparency film ruled it for forty years. The choice mostly comes down to which end of the spectrum you want pushed: Fuji drives greens and reds, Kodak drives blues and cyans. For scenes with bright sky you cannot afford to lose, the saturated colour negative films give you most of the punch and keep the highlight detail.
