Thanks Alex... I have a tough time nailing Velvia but when I do get the shot right its always well worth it!
Lovely image! I use a PTB617 as well. I need to get some grad filter...
If you want to go in winter and want to get close to any falls (or in general), I would recommend picking up some of those quick strap-on crampons that will go onto any boot with rubber band-like straps. It can be icy and dicey there in winter. I tried to walk to the bottom of Bridalveil one winter without them and almost broke my neck (well, more like my ass). Good insurance for mobility.

Thanks Harley. I will need to get some snow chain too!!
I haven't shot color film in ages. Last time was probably in 2007, when I shot 100+ rolls of Provia/Sensia with the XPan. Looks like Provia 120 is also pretty good too:

Hi all,
I am looking into this thread everyday. It is really an inspiration for me. So first I want to thank all of you contributors for sharing your work.
Now, this is the first picture I dare to share.

someone once asked me to remove my camera from my tripod once i am done shooting so that he can use my spot!
a great shot..
A great thing about Yosemite is that you can just point your camera ANYWHERE, heck, even with the lenscap on and pointing it backward, and press the shutter and you will get images like this:
True story: on my way home, I dropped by Yosemite (and any time you can say, "I dropped by Yosemite on my way home," it has to be a great day) and heading toward the Village, I passed this rock. I tuned around and found a spot to park. While I was setting up my tripod, a car pulled over on the other side, and a guy came out with his tripod.
He then literally plopped his tripod 3 feet next to mine.
While thinking "You gotta kiddin' me," but being a friendly Californian, I said, "Hi!"
He probably didn't hear me, as he was looking at the scene, and he picked up his tripod, and walked some distance down...
What a critic. Didn't like my spot, I guess.
My theory is that my spot is perfect for a panoramic shot, but not so much for a 35mm image. That's my story, to preserve my ego, and I am sticking with it.
great light and color..

C4D - Agreed.. I reckon 60% of what I shoot on Velvia 50 gets binned, but the 40% that come out exactly as planned are by far the best shots I have.. Shooting a bit of Kodak Ektar 100 at the moment and it's really nice to develop a roll of film, note that it looks 1/3rd under exposed and still get a beautiful, useful, colorful image as the result, as opposed to velvia being 1/3rd under, and because of how touchy it is in post, you look at it and don't even bother to scan it..
How do you like the 150/5.6 on 617? I love my 90mm but at times find it too wide.. At this stage its all I've got. I've been planning a 180mm as my next length to buy.

Alex, not C4D here, but I have both 90mm and 150mm for my 617 (also have 210mm and 300mm). The 90mm definitely is too wide at times. I only started to use the camera (Shenhao PTB617) more recently, I would say my mix is 40%, 35%, and 25% (90/150/210). See my 150mm image above.
If I have the $, I may pick up a 120mm for a in-between focal length, but certainly hiking with 3-4 lens is my limit...
