With slide film one might also under expose slightly to avoid blowing out the highlights. In fact the best advice for shooting digital is to 'think chrome.' B.

I just read on another forum that digital gives less noise with longer exposures than with higher ISO's. I haven't tried it yet. The exposures on these were about at the limit for hand-holding because I was deliberately trying to push the ISO. I would only use 3200 when I absolutely couldn't get the picture any other way. I also have my 10D set to underexpose to avoid blowing out highlights (more of a problem with digital than with film). That's why the originals are so dark.
