Velvia 100 [FINALLY]

I was busy doing other things I forgot to scan these films before the sun came down. I'm using a document scanner to scan the film, it will just look like the photo right below this - a Pro 160 Kodak 120 film. With a much higher density film like Velvia... you really can't see much on such a scanner. The photos below are scans of prints.

Chinatown's Buddha Tooth Relic Temple - taken on the last outing with Allysa (where are you!?)

Somewhere along Clarke Quay. The problem with 35mm film is that there are THIRTY SIX frames. I forgot where I took the bulk of my photos, much less the settings.

Somewhere in Clarke Quay - a tad underexposed

Took this when I went out with my Scouts buddies. Hand held, which explains its blur. I rarely have a tripod with me, in fact, the tripod has never left my home. I use it for taking portraits for my mum once in a blue moon.

Mega moth at Sarimbun Camp during the National Patrol Camp Competition. Alright it ain't that big. I lament not having a fish eye lens. I think the 24mm is an excellent walk about lens though, no complaints.

Retro car at the back alleys of Arab Street. I walked so far to look for my DUCK RICE! Which I didn't find and didn't bring the elf to anyway.

Just a staircase. I took random non-eye catching things to illustrate the magical properties of this film. Simple things begin to look marvelous. Alright, this isn't a great example but you'll get it with the last photo. (I hope)

Rear end of a Volkwagon Beetle opposite Bugis St. Yes, I ended up here with the search for the elusive "shi quan ya fan"... I ended up eating the Yu Kee duck rice there that failed all expectations! Come on Westmall Yu Kee, take over their business! They're wasting your name! (yes I love the Yu Kee @ Westmall)

The eye catching random artifacts.

Hope y'all enjoyed this post. I really love the effect I'm getting out of Velvia. Call me a retro geek, call me anal, call me equipment air head- I just love Velvia and I think it's worth every extra penny compared to negatives, about 2x from film to develop to print. This particular roll cost me about $27 from start to end. The developed slide film itself is a work of art gleaming with colour.

I'm addicted. Praise aside, I think the film should be rated as an ISO 80 rather than 100. My emulsion came out a little dark and it freaked me at first. I thought all was lost. Thankfully the difference between ISO 80 and 100 is just 1/3 stop? All was fine.

Now whenever I get the money, I shall try a roll of the legendary Velvia 50. Once I strike jackpot, I'll upgrade them to 120 on my RZ67. Till then... I shall drool over the emulsion. [yes, I'm too poor to print them out. 70cents a print... I only did 7 and my wallet is hurting.]

Ahh... a good reason to quit Starbucks for good.
