A miller Posted April 6, 2016 Share #13561 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Try dropping a gradient on the upper third, the sky is too light. Very nice cityscape! Thanks, Steve, for your opinion. I arrived at the luminance values for the sky based on a soft proofing profile for fuji flex, which is a little more muted than it appears on the screen (so it is probably coming across a little more bright than it will actually print). I do, though, want the layers of luminance in the sky (reverse grading up), as that is the way it was (which I thought was cool in its own right). The middle layer was heavy overcast and the upper layer (top part of the frame) was brighter, although there is still a fair amount of definition in the clouds on the top and contrast of the clouds with the rest of the sky. I am a little afraid that adding a little gradient will diminish the reverse gradient nature of the sky. Let's make a test print and see what we get. Thanks again, Adam Edited April 6, 2016 by A miller 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasselblad 503cw 50mm f4 distagon Fuji Velvia 50 Interesting, Steve. I love hearing your thought process and insights. I think this is very much a matter of personal taste and how convincing you can be to your fan base/customers that this is art that they want. For me (and I am but a mere speck of dust), the magentas don't particularly sit right. It is a bit like what you might expect from a lomochrome purple film stock. Cool for sure at a certain level (are we on Mars? ), but not what my eyes want out of velvia 50 as a regular course. Having said this, your very effective composition does a great deal to compel me... Nice work... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main thrust is that the medium (Velvia 50)is a difficult one to unlock. It'll suck you in and spit you out with contempt when you get it wrong and I by no means claim to get it right more than a fraction of the time. It's equally satisfying and frustrating and each stage of the journey is almost always productive. Even the getting it wrong has value and not just in the material cost. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned the hard way that using the velvia 50 in anything more than a moderately contrasty situation or with a length of exposure that really isn't THAT long (e.g., starting at 1 sec or even a little before) compared to the tolerance of other film unveils a sliding scale degree of schizophrenia that can be maddening or potentially brilliant - but in my case usually maddening.
