Both are really nice, but that's no one is incredible, perfect subtle blue light, what made you choose the saturated version for a very white scene?Originally Posted by pdmoylan
Yup, definitely Velvia

Thank you for your kind comments. Choice of film was usually what was available to me from my local supplier and E100s and the sw version were, for a while, easier to find that Velvia. Also, I found I was losing too many images to light wind and the extra speed of ASA 100 did make a slight difference. The Maples are subtle and I recall working hard and fast to find the best composition. Frequently I walk away from a great situation because I can't get a composition that works for me.
In low light Velvia 50 is king. Velvia 100 shifts too far to magenta but in some instances it is desirable as it adds color saturation which is, let us say, evocative. The saturation and color shift can be modifed somewhat in PS. As my professor once said to me, "know they film".

Nate, it looks great in that soft color palette. The striations in the sky work perfectly. Glad you got to visit.Somewhere here in the recent archives Jim Cole had a wonderful image of this beach scene in B & W. It prompted me to seek out the area when I was in the vicinity in Nov 2013. This is Skaket beach in Orleans on the bay side of Cape Cod at maximum low tide. I liked the repeating sandbars and somber sky and the repeating horizontal lines. Image from about noontime 11/26/13, between cold heavy rain showers. The white foreground is wind blown sea foam frozen by the 25 F temperature and piled up on the beach.

The soft colors and repeating layers have so much harmony.Somewhere here in the recent archives Jim Cole had a wonderful image of this beach scene in B & W.

This is excellent! The use of line is what I enjoy most about it.Somewhere here in the recent archives Jim Cole had a wonderful image of this beach scene in B & W.

Finally got my first ever shot LF chromes back from the lab today!
Velvia 50 - 90mm f/22@1s and Polarizer
Nicely done. The Polarizer increases saturation on bright sunny days.
Keep them coming.

good work 'Mr Stone'
I've been looking at your work over in your apug gallery
this is really peanuts stuff, it's your property that's surely the main event and very disappointing for you too
and good luck with everything that it entails
regards
andrew
Thanks Andrew, I'm still really disappointed in that one image where the side rafters aren't parallel to the edge of the frame (it was just so dark I didn't even see them in the frame).
I'm obviously trying to make the best of it, I haven't been back yet, I don't know if I'll shoot any more honestly, it was very hard. But maybe.
I'm basically going to let the bank deal with it, the home values in that area dropped after the real estate crisis and never rebounded. My house (before) burning was worth 33% of the mortgage I had, so I couldn't sell it, and I had no insurance on it at all, so there is no financial return from the fire in it for me, so I've written a letter to the bank and applied for a special motion to the court to force the bank to foreclose on me, since they refused to do so for the past year(strange but true, even they didn't want it.... It's a blessing in disguise, a new chapter soon I hope, just have to focus on the good.
So in that spirit, the good...
Same trip, (posted one at waters edge thread but it's also land...)
Was a little over exposed and was able to pull it back in EpsonScan software. I still like the B&W better.
The B&W version I developed earlier this year right after the trip.
