Point Defiance in Color (Crown Graphic/Rodenstock/Velvia 100F))


Recommended Posts

Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, WA in fall color. This is a nice afternoon's use of my Crown Graphic. Lenses were all Rodenstock: 90mm Grandagon-N 6.8, 150mm Sironar-N f/5.6, 210mm Sironar-N f/5.6. Fuji Velvia 100F. Everything at f/22, and whatever shutter speed was required to match.

 

Hope y'all enjoy! One pic per post to follow.

Lovely Rich colors!! I too own a Speed Graphic and I have toyed with the idea to use 4x5, but besides a mass plague of procrastination, I can'T scan the format. I thought I'd do direct to print on paper chemistry but I never couldn't get the pre-flash and the contrast was appaling and I'd used up 85% of my paper and still no working formula..oh and the horizontal flip/backwards results ..see no scanner for 4x5. end of rant

 

Beautiful results with Velvia, really seems worth the price of the film with these results. Excellent exposures!!

Silverfast software for scanning has some menu problems. They don't size correctly for your sceen. So I may have accidentally bumped up the saturation higher than the film would usually warrant. Anyhow, Can't really tell what to do other than adjust the slider to something good looking. This is what I got...
