Farmers' Market Vendor

Thanks Richard and Stuart. He sells quite a variety depending on the seasons. He always has small cacti--his specialty--and seasonally has outstanding strawberries, small squash, salad greens, sun gold tomatoes and French green beans. His produce is all organic, as is most of the food sold at out farmers' market now. From early May until late October, about half of our food comes from this market. Dane County Farmers' Market

 

By the way, as I look at this photo again, I believe I was mistaken about having used the 50 asph. The OOF area is distinctly Noctilux.

Brent, BTW, when are you going to try E100GX for people instead of Velvia?! :D

 

Well, the problem is I go out with the intent of shooting scenes with greenery and, in this case, brightly colored vegetables and other produce. For that, Velvia is great. Then, along comes someone like this guy and I end up putting it all on the same roll. That's one area where digital has the decided advantage. You can shoot a variety of different subjects in different lighting conditions and just make some camera adjustments or fix it with the RAW converter. It's rather inconvenient to change rolls of film every time the subject or light condition changes. I did just pick up a few rolls of Kodak 100UC, however, based on the quality of YOUR posts.

Yes, but you wouldn't get quite the same textures... :) What about the newer Velvia?

 

The new Velvia is excellent and has pretty much the same grain structure at 100 ISO as the 50. The problem IS the higher speed. I like the option of shooting as wide open as possible, so don't really want the higher speed.
