I don't know how I feel about this photo. It was shot with a compact digital camera, then processed in Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0, supposedly to look like Fujichrome Velvia film. So why didn't I just shoot it with film to begin with, other than the cost of film and processing? Then I'd have the real thing....
@peterdegraaff Well, I don't either. When I think of Velvia, I think of those great classic nature photographers, and this looks like a garish caricature. But I wasn't sure if it was my lack of skill or the program! I've been feeling very bland lately and have been playing around with processing....
@peterdegraaff Ah, so you used the real thing--Velvia film--and I just tried to fake it! You've convinced me--I'm getting out the film camera and will try the Velvia film I have stored in the refrigerator.... I mean, what am I saving it for?
@eudora This was also taken with Velvia but probably slightly underexposed http://365project.org/peterdegraaff/365/2012-04-04
Don't save it. Use it. I have been buying rolls of Expired Kodak lately which have been refrigerated. Am also becoming a big fan of Kodak E100VS. The colours are amazing. Some of the new generation films are better than digital
I never really used Fuji film that much because I didn't like the blue tones. So even though I'm not a film authority, I'd have to agree, it doesn't really look like Fuji film. I don't mind the red roof being so bright, but the sky looks really washed out and the grass is overly yellow. Sounds like you'd get a better result by just playing with the color.
