So cool! I have seen a similar one somewhere as well & it was insane expensive! It's way more awesome to have your own slides on it though! ;)

That is the coolest thing ever! In what room do you have it?

Hey, I stumbled upon your journal though ourbedrooms.

So I was wondering if you could explain what exactly you took those slides with and how you developed them, etc. I think thats the coolest photography but I have no knowledge about it. Any help would be great!

Thanks

To make slides, you just have to purchase 35 mm slide film and then take it some place to be developed. It's just like shooting regular film photos only it's a reversal film. You can also make slides out of digital images at many places online for about $3 a slide.

Here is a link that explains characteristics of slide film and such-

So you can use any film camera to shoot them and just have them developed the way you want?

Also, how much is it to get a roll developed?

Thankkk you so much, this is much clearer and I would like to seriously get on it.

I think the 35mm film is the popular slide film so you'll want to use a 35mm camera with that (it's all I've ever used). Then take it to a place that will be able to develop it for you (I have no experience with processing slide film myself). It's kind of expensive compared to regular film & processing but of course prices will vary depending on where you go. Your best bet would be to go to a local photo store and have them help you with the process.
Good luck & I hope you have fun shooting!!!
