A slightly image-heavy post here, but that's not normally a disadvantage IMHO .
Having read lots about the legendary 'Velvia saturation' and then having discovered that my local lab would process a roll of 135 for only 2.20GBP , I decided that I'd try and shoot one off before that film gets dropped as well :|.
These are my favourites from the roll of Velvia RVP 100. Despite all of the scaremongering on various blogs/forums about the sensitive nature of slide film, from an exposure point of view, I had no really bad exposures and the Matrix metering mode on my Nikon FA seemed to handle everything that was thrown at it, with little interference from me .
The scans were done on my Epson V500 flat bed and are really the weak link in the chain, as I had to apply massive amounts of sharpening to get them to look presentable at this size and so some 'grain' has been introduced . I reckon that, if scanned properly, this film could produce images to rival many DSLRs :shrug:.
