Post your Velvia Shot Here

<p>Are all these slides straight from the camera? No post production/photo shop?</p>

<p>"Are all these slides straight from the camera? No post production/photo shop?"<br>

No, they were scanned which post-processes your file whether you leave it to the scanner driver presets or do it manually.</p>

<p>Yep. Pretty much. I only use Elements and only as a novice which includes only spot heal or clone for the dust spots, a little levels bump, and a small dose of sharpening.</p>

<p>Sorry, Central station in Antwerp, Belgium, Fuji Velvia 100F.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, so much excellent velvia shots here! Very inspiring!</p>

<p>Imagine we would not sitting of front of our computers, looking on our 'crappy' monitors with their extremely low resolution and insufficient color reproduction, but enjoying all these powerful pictures in a real slide show on a large, bright screen!<br>

The original powerful Velvia colors, the almost three dimensional look of a projected slide, the high resolution and sharpness of the original slide.</p>

<p>In Europe more and more photographers are doing exactly this: Rediscover the beauty of projected slides, and creating events. A small trend is in the beginning, called "open slide": Meetings of photographers, everyone can join in, bring some slides and show them to all the others. No matter if you have landscapes, architecture or portraits, all subjects are welcome. Therefore a great variety is guarenteed. It has a happening character, everyone who likes photography and slides is welcome.<br>

It's a great idea to come together and enjoy Photography.</p>

<p>This is a superb idea for a thread. Should do this on a monthly basis! Some very gorgeous shots here.</p>

<p>Great thread, and some wonderful images. I'll play, too:<br /> <img src="../photo/6487015&size=lg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Hmm. The link failed. Second try:</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, I see some portraits -particularly Tom Mickan's- that deliver nice skin tone for a film that's deemed unsuitable for such kind of work. Nevertheless, all the pictures above really shows that Velvia lives up to its reputation. I have no pictures taken with Velvia yet, but I will take it for a stroll today and post some pictures (if any are worth uploading in this post; every pictures here are too amazing) later. This thread is indeed interesting.</p>
