Beautiful set Ross, give me "Late autumn in Utah high country" all day long! Film was so much fun, and a lot of work. Well done.

Hi Dale, I really appreciate your positive feedback, thank you!

The Death Valley sunset bloom stands out for me.

Hi Rajan, thanks for checking it out. Phil Hawkins pointed out some oversaturation so I went back to the files in LR and made sure saturation was set to zero, and in some cases lowered contrast and brightness, and posted the revised set in a comment (FM will no longer let me edit the original post). The remaining colors are consistent with the bold look of Velvia film. I'd value your feedback if look at that second set, thanks!

Ross,

My preference is for the original. There is 'good' saturation and then there is molesting the saturation slider. Your image fell to the former lot. I had already assumed it to be the form of film that rendered colours boldly.

These are some breathtaking captures. Congratulations. I love how you deployed Velvia 50 in blue hour and golden hours shots, excellent execution.

Fantastic Ross. I bet you got plenty of wow's back then, when sharing prints was the only way to share photos!

@dakel Great comment, thank you! I still do love to show prints more than any other medium. Holding in your hand a gorgeous textured fine art matte paper from a 400-year old paper mill in France adds something special to me 😍

@mellice thank you for that positive feedback!
Looks like you are in Snohomish? I used to live in Lake Stevens.

Absolutely beautiful!

Boy do I miss shooting 4x5. Nothing like seeing those large Provia, Velvia and Velvia 100F transparencies on the light table. Plus the process of making a photograph was soothing. Every once in a while I go on Ebay and look at prices of lenses. I wish Quickloads still existed...
