About My first image using the new(ish) Fuji Velvia 100 and I must say that I'm very impressed. The colours are saturated but with fewer odd colour shifts and it looks just as sharp and free from grain. On this morning in The Lake District just after christmas, it was -9 degrees C and the frost was deep and crisp. I arrived early (dawn wasn't until 8:33am) and set up the tripod in a few different locations before settling on this view. Metering on the frosted ground in the distance and then against the sky I found that I needed a two stop soft ND grad and 81B warm-up filter to balance the exposure.

The new 100 does not do warm tones as well though, particularly favoring blues over yellows. This works well here though, Furthering the cool, pre-dawn mood. The 81B keeps the cold under control. I would be tempted to desaturate just a little overall, for more mellow color palette that compliments the mood. Very strong composition highlighted by the reflected tree. The frost really shows off the foreground grasses.

Barry -- It's the color that drew me to the thumbnail of this image. Once open, I found a nice, tidy composition with good use of thirds and a gentle, reversed C curve. The reflection captures attention and, as Marc pointed out, the frost on the foreground grass really gives it an extra emphasis. All this cast in nice, chilled hues. I like this image.

Hi Barre,

Thats an interesting in-sight into the new Velvia - sounds like its an improvement. Anyway like this - especially the stillness of teh water.

Rgds,
Shane
