Switching to color... This trip was my first time shooting Velvia 50 in large format.

Gorgeous!
It's funny, I have an image where it was late in the day with a blue cast, and I knew that it would have this blue cast when taking it, but I really like the image anyway. Same feeling here, I think it's really peaceful, however as I shoot Velvia 50 more and more for "normal images" versus the long exposure skyline images that I first fell in love with it for that have extreme colorcasts that are pleasing to me, I wish I understood more about color correction and filtering. I'm sure SOMEWHERE out there, there's a split graduated colored density filter with like a 0.3 factor with a split and a graduated neutral density filter with like a 0.9 factor that would help in the evenings, but I don't know where I would get one.
Sorry for the tangent but you made me think of that, this image is excellent and I hope you continue your Velvia50 love, as will I :)
mijosc - nice shot. Seems a bit magenta to me? Is the light really like that or is it a scanning issue? thanks for sharing.
Actually Ed, I looked again, it does have a magenta cast compared to the original transparency. (Now I remember why I usually shoot black and white!) I uploaded a tweaked version, I just can't figure out how to update my original post, so here it is.

Another Velvia 50 shot. I paid a little more attention to color correcting this time. Although I consider myself to be more of a black and white photographer, Velvia is quite addicting.
