This is a brilliant photo. :thumbs:
 
Just another frame of Velvia, I cropped it weirdly but sort of like it.

 
Hi folks. I had this roll of Velvia 50 processed and scanned by Samy's my local pro shop. They charged me $27.00 bucks for this and this did not include prints. My question is this. To my eyes and my monitor is calibrated, the color balance seems off to me. I see purple skies and believe me the skies where gray this day.. Does the color look right?

Do have a sight colour shift but I love the last one, your best yet imho!

Andy1868, love em all!

The beach hotel 2nd from last has a blue cast and the sky looks greyish in others (well the tattoo one has slightly pinky sky)..but my old CRT monitor is not professional calibrated.
 
I normally find that with Velvia I get a magenta/purple colour shift if i've slightly underexposed the shot - hence I tend to shoot with a +1/3ev compensation (shoot Velvia 50 as 40, 100 as 80) As if it's not slow enough already - not a problem for my kind of stuff, landscapes not being noted for their speed of movement, but could be a problem with street stuff.
 
I like that Paleblue, would have confused the hell outa me if you hadn't said what it was.

Some Legacy Pro (can't wait to shoot all this so I never have to again!)

I have been going through some old files and found this, I think a ND grad might have come in handy :)

Provia 100, f32 90 seconds (I think)
 
Thats just wonderful Liam.

BTW, I had been trying to get a few shots with the setting sun in the frame. Some came out OK, some had the sun washed out (i.e it was a big blob of white). Whats the right way to meter it ( I was told that the VF should be placed looking onto the sky, with the sun just outside the VF, so that the sun cant be seen, and then lock the exposure). Is that correct, or should the sun be just outside the central focussing circle but inside the VF?

Thanks!

I am no expert but it depend on what you are trying to achieve, because the sun is always going to be a white blob as it is so bright. If you want the sun to be orange you will have to heavily underexpose the rest of the scene. Or you can be very lucky and see it through some cloud like in the first image below.

These images where metered off the sky just to the side of the sun, as you can see the sun is overexposed on the second image but the sky is ok.

Not sure if that helps..

Easy solution - ND grad filter ;)
Meter on the sun itself, fiddle everything else accordingly. The ND grad allows you to reduce the difference in brightness between sky and foreground. This was shot on Provia, not Velvia (so there is inherently less contrast anyway) and is a sunrise, but you get the idea. No overblown sun, still some foreground detail.

 
I always try to avoid shooting towards a setting sun because it's always so much brighter than anything else (as seen in mustanir's example). The half arsed method I use is to meter the sky (making sure the sun isn't in the frame when metering) then meter the foreground. Add gradients to even out the difference then shoot with your foreground exposure. It's not nearly as accurate as using the zone system but it's given me OK results so far.

Thank you and I believe you have nailed it according to my little bit of research. Thank you!
 
Some really nice photographs. Looking good out of the Minolta Nigel :thumbs:

Also liking the LA shots from jgredline.

Ok a couple from me. All shot on the Yashica 124 using Extar, processed and scanned at The UK Darkroom. I have messed with the colour on 2 in PS to get something a little different.

Love no 2 with all those curves and 3 is almost there but I think the figure spoils it a touch
 
Agreed, no 2 is a venue I'd like to visit.
If its in Whitby, it must have passed me by..:shrug:

Looks like it. 'The Royal' was filmed in the hotel immediately out of shot to the woman's right. In the first shot you can just see the cliffs at Sandsend with Kettleness headland in the distance.
 
I used my 20mm AF-D for a wide on kodachrome, and its a right distorted thing on a 35mm film camera, not half as bad on a crop sensor.
And another thing, I'm not impressed with mounted slides, you lose too much of a frame for scanning, proper buggered up this church shot...:shake:

That second shot is amazing joxby love the colours and perspective
 
+1 :thumbs: but is it not upside down?
