From what I
read, alot of people rate it at about ISO 40 instead of 50, and then the
occasional 132 and so on for large format...dunno all the science to it
<g>.
Also longer
exposure for cutting the saturation down for some peoples
preferances.
This
is all based on daylight.
That's a good point. I
generally rate Velvia at ISO 40 as
well.
What lenses did you use to get those
volcano shots...those are breathtaking...how close were you to that
monster?
Those reds are
almost flourescent!!
Excellent
capture!
That whole
gallery is nothing less then spectacular...I especially like the contrast
triangle....I had to mess with it for a few to see if the pixels were really
dark or not...what a fun picture.
Thanks very much! The
lenses used were Nikkor Zooms - 20-35mm f/2.8 AF-D; 35-70mm f/2.8
AF-D and 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 AF
VR.
Yes, the Provia
400/100F works well and have a few shots I took of YYZ <pearson
airport>, and niagara falls at night/pearson by day, that turned out
very well.
The daytime
shots of the gorge area of the falls really brought to life the
blue colour of the water almost perfectly.
When I go back
next month, I will be taking the E100VS with me as Im satisfied with the
overall performance.
I dont know if
you were ever to the falls, but at night the whole thing,<including the
american falls> is illuminated with an array of
coloured spotlights.
I want to attempt a
nightime mosaic next time...Ive never seen one
b4
Its
definely a challenge Im willing to conquer with my 28mm.
Another good point.
Provia 100F has a beautiful color palette, but it definitely favors
blue/green renditions. It's useful to keep this in mind when
shooting various subjects and in various types of
light.
Tell me, what would you use for this
situation? <g>...how would you attempt
this?
Jeez I
wish I could afford that fisheye that I had my eyes on at the store the
other day.
Well, for some reason I could
not get the streaming video to work. But, anyway, I would
probably use my tried and true E100S (mainly because I've used it
a lot at night and know how it works). My second choice would be
E100VS, which is now my #1 daylight film (#2 and #3 are Provia 100F and
Velvia).
By the way, I love your Wisconsin fall
color shots. Great compositions and gorgeous
color.
Take
care,
Scott
