December 28 008 Fuji Velvia

HOLY CRAP that's beautiful!! In the "paper and developer" it says "negative scan" did you mean to say "transparency scan"? or is this somehow cross processed by the lab as C-41? It's beautiful, and that water was very still... awesome! How did you calculate for the 90 second exposure? and did you count in your head or with a timer? hehe

Looking through your other images I've answered my own questions... nice job. Next step, developing your own Velvia

love the print , and the very nice colors.

Thanks. That is a scan of a transparency. I use an app on my iPhone called Light Meter to get my exposures and this was 90 Mississippi on the exposure. I do think that on long exposures, the iPhone app is underestimating the exposure or I am underestimating the reciprocity failure of Velvia. A lot of the long exposures are on the darker side. There is a lot info about how hard Velvia is to work with, but I'm a newbie and have had great luck with really basic equipment and knowledge. I have found that it really shines about 5-15 minutes before and after the sun is up.
