Shooting Velvia...the proper exposure

[James Phillips]

I thought I would re-visit this thread and add to my previous answer. Originaly I was experiencing serious developement problems and that was the cause of my extremely blocked up shadows. Well now that just about a year has gone by I've had the chance to gain additional knowledge using Velvia. I can now say that most of the answers given here about exposure considerations are "right on the money". As I have gained experience, I am becoming more astute towards subtle differences in exposure latitude and the difference between an "OK" shot versus a "great shot" in respect to proper exposure. I felt that this was important to share with those reading this thread so that they might gain from all the postings, as I feel I missed their value on my first reading of them.

Thanks

Somehow the standard proceedure for exposing chromes has been left out of this discussion. BRACKET!
