Is there a particular technique or film to use to get saturated colours?
The first thing is to have the right lighting. If you’re taking pictures outside, the best time is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun is lower in the sky. Like maybe from around 7:00 – 10:00 AM, and then from around 3:30 – 7:00 PM. When the sun is lower in the sky, the light has a much warmer tone, which will give much brighter, more saturated colors. Avoid taking pictures right in the middle of the day. That’s a mistake a lot of people make. The worst time is from around 12:00 noon – 2:30 PM. When the sun is directly overhead, the light is too bright and harsh and it will wash out colors and make the pictures look very dull. I’ve also found that SLIGHTLY underexposing the film can help a little bit with getting deeper colors. So if you have a manual film camera, use the “Sunny 16 Rule” and if you aren’t sure about what shutter speed or aperture to use, it’s better to slightly underexpose color film. (like use f/22 instead of f/16 on a sunny day). Just r
