Anyway I did both shots using the same lights..the 100sw you could see detail in the tray the pies were sitting on, a dark tray, along with the shadow the pies cast on the tray...on the Velvia the trays were black - no detail or shadow, BUT the highlights in the tin pie tins were much more punchy and the color of the pecan pies was MUCH more rich...wish I had of had another roll of 100vs to test on that shot as I think it may have worked better than the 100sw did. All in all I like the new Kodak films. On 9/24/99 7:15 PM Henning J. Wulff wrote: >That's exactly it. Velvia (and most other Fuji films) have a steep toe, >which translates to poor shadow separation.
