It usually works the other way around.

Depends on the film you choose, although loosely faster films seem to
have less saturation. For over the top saturation try Agfa Ultra (this
stuff is dangerous!) for prints and Fuji Velvia or Kodak Elitechrome
Extra Color for slides. For slightly less, but still enhanced color,
try Fuji Reala for prints and Kodak Elite Chrome 100 for slides.

Good landscape pictures!
1. Use a tripod it allows you the time to study composition.
#2 try and photograph something near the camera as well as far away. It gives a
sense of depth and distance. If you now how to set the hyper- focal distance on
your lens do this as it renders everything in the picture tack sharp. If you do
not know how to set hyper focal distance use F16 0r F22. A tripod is a must as
shutter speeds will usually be slow.
#3 you can add punch to pictures (especially fall scenics) with a color
enhancement filter. it makes yellows oranges and reds pop. Also use 100 speed
film. Color saturation depends on the film not the film speed. Kodak royal gold
is warm good for fall, fuji is a cooler film and is graet for water and snow.
Some slid films are made to super saturate _ Fuji Velvia, Kodax elite extra
saturation( will say on box).
The most important thing is to use the magic lite early morning and early
evening> the sun is much more pleasing during this time of the day. mid-day sun
is usally to harsh, Good luck if I can be of any help E-mail me at
