Velvia 50

Fujifilm Velvia 50 is renowned for its rich colours. It has only recently come back into production so I thought I would give a 120 roll a whirl with my Flexaret TLR while holidaying in Victoria. Here are some results:

Bay of Martyrs, Great Ocean Road
Lighthouse, Cape Otway
Melbourne, Skyscrapers
Melbourne, Bridge

I will certainly be using Velvia 50 again.

Update and some Photographs

It’s been a while since I last updated. A couple of things have happened in the interim period, nothing too outlandish though.

I bought an eeepc, which is an ultra-portable laptop, which I intend to set up as a tethered shooting computer with my 400D. At the moment though it’s more of a web surfing / portable entertainment device. I’ve hooked up a Lacie portable hard disk which expands its capabilities somewhat. I also installed Age of Mythology on it yesterday and it seems to run pretty nicely.

I’m pretty excited about going to see Iron Maiden next week, however I have to say that I am actually more excited about going to Melbourne for a week and hopefully going on a road trip down the Great Ocean Road. I’m going to take the Flexaret TLR and the Horizon 202 with me so I’ll be stocking up on film before I go. I’m also (obviously) taking the 400D with me. Should be pretty sweet.

I finally had some medium format film developed from the Flexaret on the weekend - here are the results (images link to flickr):
