I just picked up my first ever set of slides tonight. I am in love with Velvia!!! I wish I would have tried this stuff years ago! I went out Sunday afternoon with my trusty AE-1 and shot my first roll of Velvia 50. This time of year there wasn't much color to be found in nature so I had to improvise a bit. I took another shot of one of the old tractors that I had posted before, as well as the old green Packard. I even went to the local farm implement dealer and shot a bunch of machinery. Lots of reds, yellows and blues there to be shot. I did get a couple of nice landscape shots that I'm really happy with too.
I am very happy with the exposures on all of them. One shot is a little dark, but I guess that's better than being overexposed. Considering this was my first ever roll of slides, I'm very very happy with the way they turned out. I would love to see them blown up but for now I will have to settle for the slides themselves.
I only have a cheap flatbed scanner that doesn't do them any justice so I have nothing to share with you. The local photo store will scan them for me for $2 per slide but that seems a little pricey to me. I will wait till I get some more and take them to the city and have them done for about 1/4 of that. Untill then, I guess I will have to enjoy them by myself. ;)
