Really great, who cares if its postcardish, velvia50 or 100?

Times? Just curious, if you remember, was there a polarizer on this?

Yes, the view is really impressive (this is Moscow intl business center, some towers are still under construction).
Shot last week, half of an hour after the sunset. No polarizer, RVP100F plus a warming filter plus some LAB tweaking (sorry, analog purists).

Hi-res image is here (LAB TIFF 6800 x 9100): http://staswilf.com/blog/2013/07/30/moscow-cit/

Why warming filter? Isn't V100f already pretty red normally?

I was under the impression that RVP100F is a quite neutral film, though a contrasty one.
The twilight was apparently blue. I can't afford a color meter, so I exposed one side of the holder with a light warming filter, and the second side with a moderate one (85c). The first transparency turned out bluish and dull, and the second one was OK.

Here are a couple more to keep it alive.

And a nine-hour star trails taken from my back yard with a Linhof IV. It is a little blown out ... but after all it was a nine hour exposure!
