Best Film Looks for Travel
Versatile, forgiving looks that hold up across wildly different light in one day.
Travel photography is the case for a film that does not need managing: shot in harsh noon sun, in shade, indoors and at dusk, often all before dinner. The consumer colour negative films were built for precisely this and their latitude is why they survived decades of holiday snapshots. The saturated ones flatter unfamiliar places; the neutral ones let you decide later.
