Before 2003 I took most pictures as slides, only few as color or black and white negatives. Scanning the slides is tricky and even with a good scanner it takes a lot of time and the result is not always good. For the first time I now have sent a negative film away for scanning and I am quite surprised, since the quality is almost better than what this same lab produces from slide films. Here are a couple of examples.
I have written a story about Chiloe in my blog:

As a comparison, all the photos in the blog are scanned from slides
