First Roll of Color Through My Fuji 6x9

[Colorado CJ]

Last week I had a cousin come visit me. I showed him around some of my favorite places, one of which was Rocky Mountain National Park.

Now, I always have some sort of camera with me when I go out hiking. This time I took my new (to me) Fugi G690 medium format camera. I decided to load up a roll of Ektar 100 for the hike. This is my first color roll I've shot through the camera, I've only shot 3 rolls total through it so far, all black and white.

Anyway, I developed the roll at home using a Unicolor C41 chemical kit.

I normally shoot in black and white, but I am definitely going to be running some more rolls of color through this camera!

Here they are.

I like the last one, those rocks with their intense colour enforce one to study this picture that bit more.

Well, this is very encouraging to me. I have the same camera and lens, but have not used it much. Seeing these results shows what I've been missing. These are terrific photographs. A couple of questions: I presume you scanned the negatives -- if so, are they tweaked much via software? Also, were these handheld or was the camera on a tripod? How did you meter? Again -- really nice.

This makes me want to borrow my buddy's Fuji 6×9 (that I talked him into buying!) & shoot some Velvia through it!
