Excellent, I particularly like this one.

A couple of shots from a short trip to Frankfurt last year :)

 

Kodak TriX in HC-110 - also one of the rare times I left my M6 at home. These were shot with a olympus mju II

And my first roll of Cinestill 800T's been developed.

 

Ignoring my usual subject and composition mashups, I have to say that this tungsten film gives simply amazing results at night. Especially when there's neon lighting around. Very cinematic, which I suppose is that point.

 

Thanks for the steer, Adam.

 

Consider me hooked.

Quite a few film wedding photographers are using it

Torridon on a crisp September day.

Steve - this is an interesting one as the foreground and background don't (speaking for myself only) appear to be in sync.  It has an interesting effect and makes me think of a set from an old western movie.  I also wanted to ask you about the saturated blues in the shadows, in particularly in the upper left.  In hindsight, is there a lens filter that can have warmed up the shadow values?  I suppose that a warm toned paper could be used to warm up the blue shadows.  But given that velvia can only be digitally printed these days, I wonder how much flexibility there is in this regard.

 

The blue shadows stand out (for me) particularly in the context of the contrasting aqua (rather than blue) sky.   Perhaps it wouldn't be as notable if the blue had the same deep blue values as the values in the shadows and the water.  To me, it seems to be a reflection of how the DR velvia 50 might be stretched beyond its comfort zone.  Just me, though. 

 

It is a lovely photo of a beautifully expansive scene with lovely light, no doubt!

Difficult picture but well reproduced by film and analog camera

I am surprised by the lack of flare :)

very funny, Henry.  I'll have you know that I cleverly picked up my monitor and put it upside down to view this rather than dangerously standing on my head. :) :)

No no Adam, your monitor is not faulty  :D

There's a lot going on across the frame with regard to the light and the transparency frustrates me no end when I view it on the lightbox To me, it's a record shot. Bear in mind the wide format and the very wide angle 90mm lens because this is the key to answering your comments and questions. What you are seeing is the transition from side (almost) 3/4 lighting to the point where the light in the sky is becoming polarised. If you said I'd taken the photograph at the wrong time of day for the wide format, I would be inclined to agree with you. You also have to consider the clear atmosphere of the northwest of Scotland, this had been a frosty day earlier and this saturation of uv and cooler end of the spectrum light contributes to the blue cast in some of the mid and distant shadows which Velvia 50 is very good at recording. Velvia is very sensitive with snow scenes, it can vary from pleasing pastel magentas, pinks, yellows, cyans and blues (which is when I really like) to an overpowering blue cast.

 

Take a roll or two of RVP 50 to Colorado in December and you'll quickly understand how Velvia records this light. The same goes for less clear, polluted atmosphere when it will easily record yellows and oranges, one reason why it is so good with sunrises and sunsets. On your way back through Colorado to Denver Airport, stop and photograph from the Front Range and you will see that effect too.

 

You won't filter this out, you'll be far better to convert to monochrome if you really want the image.

No!!!

 

I don't know that it would have come out much different, and even may have even retained more natural shadow detail given the greater range....  Pure speculation, though...

The best film (on the market today) for this scene.... ;)
