Wow...I am already worried about losing shots because I forget and leave the shutter open after focusing and taking the dark slide out.
I cannot even fathom making a mistake with 8x10 or 11x14!

Last year, the first time I shot a few 11x14 chromes. 11x14 Velvia 50 is beautiful (even 18 years after the expiration date).

And I thought viewing an 8x10 piece of Velvia (or for that matter any transparency film) was wonderful. An 11x14 piece would be something. And not to be lost is that your image is a nice one - nice composition and color.

I've screwed up a few 8x10 chromes (E100G no less...) but the ones shot right make it worth it! Once I'm done with my stock of E100G it's all Velvia50 for me now that I'm importing it to the U.S. glad to have discovered it's still made, just hard to get from Japan. Now I wonder if they still would cut it in 11x14 if a big enough order were placed. Good thing I'm moving away from 11x14 and heading toward 14x17 so I'm not tempted by color, hah!

Wow that velvia is impressive.

That velvia image is so gorgeous! I'll be shooting 8x10 version soon and am so excited.

The image itself is stunning also.

I can almost hear the flies buzzing.... and the banjos a-pickin' in the distance...

Stunning!

I have some boxes of 11x14 Velvia of similar vintage frozen and I've been wondering if it is worth shooting. Your post is therefore doubly encouraging.

But, if anyone is interested in swapping for some whole-plate b&w film, I could be talked into it.
