"To get the full range from bright to dark you may need a
24 or even a 21.", what does this mean?
For lots of sunsets the interesting parts -- multihued clouds, sky
fading from yellow-orange or red to purple and blue -- stretch over a
fair part of the sky.
So if the sun is setting due west, the sunset scene that you want to
capture might stretch from the far southwest of the horizon to the
far northwest. A telephoto pointed at the sun would see only within a
few degrees of due west, whereas a 24mm or 21mm lens (wide angle and
then some) would get the whole scene.
Someone also mentioned earlier about using lower film like 50 or 100, I am
assume that this means instead of the 200 that I use at present, also said
something about slide film (I didn't realise that you used different film to
make slides).
Would I be able to buy this film from any retailer or do I need a special
supplier?
Any good camera store or place that develops film will have a range
of film types and speeds. If you take a look at the archives you will
find lots of discussion about which films are best (look for "provia"
or "sensia" or "velvia" or "kodachrome" as keywords). I believe
there's also a section at photo.net.
