Painting in color with Velvia

[pevelg]

I shot Velvia RVP 135 iso 50 in my olympus 35sp (maybe less contrasty lens than your Hex) but got a lot of muted colors. Maybe because I was underexposing?

here is an example:

Not the best example cause it is indoor lighting, but the paintings on the right were really colorful.

Not sure what is going on in the picture, but I think the muted color is due to the lens, as well as improper exposure. I was recently testing my M6TTL meter... First pic is proper exposure, then stopped down one, then two.

Holy cr@p! I've never seen that shade of blue before.

Yeah, it's wild, isn't it? I didn't use a polarizer or anything, either. Just the Canonet loaded with Velvia.

A few years ago that barn was a wreck. The family who owns it--the Teeters--go back a couple of hundred years on that property, and they meticulously restored the whole thing.

Interesting. The properly exposed one looks the best here. I think the flourescent lighting didn;t help in the photo I posted. i think I do need to learn proper exposures with velvia and my 35sp though.

I don't think velvia copes very well with flourescent/tungsten/what not.

I have also had a slide ruined because of that. Unfortunately I do not have it to share it, because it was total crap. As I recall correctly, it had a very strong cast (I think it was blue).
