Quite right old bean.
But you know that people say that you never stop learning ... well I
like to prove that every now and again ;-)
But seriously, I did not think of range of exposure values when
deciding on a film to use - considering I was going to be in the land
of unadulterated Atlantic weather. I had just had such a good time
with pushing HP5 a stop and people have talked about using Provia 100F
at ISO 400 for ages. If I had stopped to think I would have kept it at
100, as there was plenty of light!
That was not nearly carmudgeonly enough Moose, so try again ;-).

Some lovely pics there, Chris
Hope you don't mnd a little curmudgeonly rant here.
My recollection from the old days is that pushing a film generally
increases contrast and/or grain. Is this not true of current slide
films? Back when I shot mostly slides, if I needed a faster film, I
just used one designed from the ground up for that speed. Still do
that with negative film today.
If a slide film doesn't have enough density range to capture all the
range of light I want, why use it? Are there not slide films out there
that will do the job? If not, unless one actually does slide shows,
why not use negative film and capture the full range of light.
End rant.
