Velvia is the ultimate B&W film; extremely sharp, virtually grainless, already in mounts to be scanned. Plus, as a B&W film, there is no strange magenta stain on the clouds.

The first is taken on the eastern verge of the Vaca Range foothills. It's Velvia and taken with the 560 teleyt. I was attracted to the changes in color within the grasslands and there is some fundamental part of me that loves the oaks as they spread across the hillsides. I saw them first as a young boy when we visited California and after that first sight I knew this was somewhere I wanted to live. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-July/FoothillsVacaRange.jpg> The second was taken while I was exploring an onion field that was being raised for seed. I liked the pattern. It's also Velvia but I converted it to black and white for obvious reasons. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-July/Passerbye-OnionField.jpg> You comments and thoughts are most welcome.
