I bravely shot a roll of Fujifilm Velvia 50 slide film during a week of rain and dark clouds in Northern Highlands of Scotland - here’s the result www.flickr.com/photos/ka…
@jack thanks! they do look so much better when projected, I feel like scans rarely do justice for slides
@alexsavin ISO 50 film doesn't do well in low light situations. Not to be critical, but most of your shots appear to be out of focus and lacked depth of field. Did you shoot wide open? Were your shutter speeds very low?
@khurtwilliams yup wide open aperture and slow shutter. I had to take a chance 😄 Still they look much better when projected as opposed to scans, with a bright enough light.
Here’s a roll of Ektachrome with iso 100 from the same trip: flickr.com/photos/23...
@alexsavin The need for light is why I have yet to shoot a roll of Velvia 100 outside of the summer. It's sunny today but I have roll of Tri-X 400 in the film camera (Spotmatic II). This is one reason film lost it's apeal to me. Id be be able to shoot whenever the needs arises at any ISO I want. Digital since 1999.
@khurtwilliams I do love the colours though you get so effortlessly with Velvia and Provia, even more so than what you get with Ektachrome. But yeah, you do want a good sunny day (or maybe a very bright flash)
