...Lots and lots of film! All the pros always say, "Film is nothing".
That is to say, after travelling to a shooting location, setting up the
shot or finding a perfect opportunity shot, the cost of film shouldn't
stop you from getting your shot(s). National Geographic photographers takes
HUNDREDS of pictures just to print ONE in the magazine. So anyway, I tend
to go with Kodak
35mm Films.
For typical daylight
shots, I go with Kodak Gold ISO200. It's double the speed of ISO100 film
that everyone uses. That gives me more options with the camera.
For more difficult shots,
like clouded over, indoors, etc, I'll be using Fuji SUPERIA 400 or Kodak
MAX 400 (although I can't seem to find anyplace selling the Kodax MAX,
which I prefer). As you might have guessed, 400 means 4 times the speed
of 100 film. That way, I can get away with lovely night/indoor shots without
having to use a flash.
I've yet to try ISO800 and ISO1600 film cause you don't usually run into situations where you'd use that kind of film, like nightime vistas or sneaky recon-pics.
There's also a whole range of Kodak Ektachrome professional films, but those are harder to come by.
So anyway, here's a selection of pics I took recently (11 Sept 98).
