Blood Red

Amboise, France. Fuji Velvia 50 Film. See large for best effect. :-)

For your enjoyment, ratings and comments.

That's a 32 year old Nikon 60/40 meter used to manually determine the exposure at f/8.  Used a shirt-pocket tripod balanced on a railing.  I forget the shutter speed, but the FE I bought for $10.00 helped me figure it out.  Gosh, I like this old and highly functional gear.  And today's films are so outrageously good.  Velvia makes you feel like a hero.

I couldn't agree more.  When I found Velvia in about 1998 I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  I mainly shoot digital now but still have my FE2, F3, and F5...oh yeah, and a Pentax K1000.  I just wish I could afford to still shoot my 4x5, oh well, someday.  Keep up the good work.

Stunning image! Call it beautiful will be a serious understatement.
