Color Slide Film

I don't do it too often, and when I do, I use it sparingly.  Color slide film in 4x5" sheet size that is...


While this one looks even more striking in its glorious color in print than on the screen, this gives you and idea of what Fuji Velvia film is all about.  Big, bold colors.

The difficulty arises in the fact that this film is expensive and costs more than $8 per photo in just film and developing costs.  (Fortunately I don't work in 8x10" format!)

I know I show a lot of black and white, but I thought it was time to share something different.  VERY different from the pinhole camera images in the previous post!!!

Anyway, here are some more examples of photos taken with this lovely film...






By the way, this film isn't particularly good for skin tones. Fuji has its Astia film for that, and its Provia for the middle of the road.
