Deep Purple

I have never shot slide film. So I bought some Fuji Veliva 50

I rated it at 50 in my camera.

Peter,

 

that's what velvia is for. Try to rate it at 40 and enjoy ! If only this film wouldn't be so expensive ...

I paid $18 for a 100' roll!!

The vivid color is great (thanks to the good people at Fuji); however, color can only take an image so far. Subtract that which smart chemists have supplied you, and you have a pretty boring photo of a flower in horrible, direct sunlight.

The flower is a bit bigger then a dime.. and I used flash to light it.

This is a macro shot, not the easiset thing to do...

I too was, and still am excited with the images that you can capture with Velvia. Remember, YOU are your best and worst critic. I think it is a great feeling to be happy about your images. Disregard posts that discourage you, everyone starts somewhere and a site like this should help us all learn, it is not an open forum to insult.

That's what it's all about. But flower shots, I don't like them much. Even so (and with that in mind) this one is okay.
