here's my eternal film problem-
I shoot, for example, a beautiful sunny scene, say at a park; plenty of light, blue skies, bursting with colour and life. However, when I get it developed, the rich saturated colour I wanted to capture isn't there; instead, the image I get developed is a little less saturated, a little less full of life than I wanted! Do you have any basic tips to get more colour-saturated photos; anything from perhaps using a certain type of film, to using a certain shutter speed, to using a certain f/stop. Any help would be much worshipped!
Thankyou, and as always, love your film photography!

The number one factor that determines color saturation is the brand of film you choose. I am also a contrast/color saturation nut, which is why I use Fuji Provia for people and Fuji Velvia for landscapes. Shooting slide film will always have more “pop” than shooting color negative film. You can also increase contrast by pushing your film or cross processing it - but keep in mind that cross processing also changes color.
