Why did I use color reversal films since I was not in the advertisement industry? The answer is simple: it is difficult to use. Color reversal films have a rather short linear range and unforgiving for exposure errors as a consequence. Once you master color reversal films, you can do any other types of films. In addition, this type of film has a very reliable color balance; you don't depend on the printing process for color reproduction. Furthermore, color reversal films have good color saturation especially when used in combination with a polarizing filter. It might not achieve the best color balance compared to color negative films or digital cameras; but it has the capacity to evoke emotion that more accurate films and digital cameras lack. Finally, I also used color reversal films for my conference and seminar presentations before the era of multimedia – there was no alternative. The main limit of color reversal films is a relatively low resolution compared to color negative films and panchromatic films because the images from color reversal films are second generation images instead of the first generation images of on the negatives. The scanned image of this photo belong to the 5th generation, compared to the scanned print of negative film (3rd generation) or digital image (1st generation). For me, that's a small price to pay for what I want to achieve.
