A sort of comparison between Fuji Velvia 50 and Kodak Portra 160. The film are essentially the opposite, the first is a high contrast transparency film with 5 stops of dynamic range, while the second is a color negative film with an insanely large latitute---everything slooowly fades to white.
It is a sort of comparison because the two images were taken a few minutes apart and the light was very different: too much contrast for Velvia with the sun out. Both images were taken with a 3-stop soft edge graduated filter to control the sky.
Which one do you like most?

I prefer the velvia image. I find velvia to be very true to life when carefully exposed on low contrast scenes.
The two images were taken at Cape Cod; I think they captured many aspects of the northern part of the cape: the big dunes, the particular shrubby vegetation, the barely traveled sand roads, and the amazing light. However, I am not convinced by any of the two shots and I find them too much chaotic for my liking. Still, it was a fun morning and I think the images are worth sharing.

If you like more information I took an on-location video when taking those images (link below).

Based on the UFOs visible in the first picture, this must be Lomo "Tiger" 110 film with the typical defective backing paper, correct? I don't like that aspect of the film, but I do enjoy the grain occasionally. The grain & pastel look can be quite pleasing, like in your second picture. To amplify that even more, cross-processing the Lomo "Peacock" 110 slide film in C-41 is rather effective:

 
I did try a peacock roll late last year (and had it cross processed), but I ran that through a camera that wouldn't advance the film properly so I got a bunch of overlapped images.

I do like that tiger image, but it would have been better without the light leaks (but they do at least highlight the cloud). Though the light leaks look cool on the orca and lobster rolls.
