Hi
I took some landscape photographs with my G2 ( 21mm lens) using 100 ASA slide film.
In many of my photographs, the colors of flowers, persons in the foreground appears too rich. What can be the reason?

Perhaps you (or the camera in this case) underexposed a bit, which is common if there's a lot of sky to fool the lightmeter. Depending on the actual slide film, underexposure boosts colour saturation.
Another factor to consider is the slide film character, velvia 100 for instance shows very rich colours even if not underexposed and isn't the best for portraits..

Welcome to RFF! Could you show us some samples of this problem?

Thanks. I would post some of my photos as soon as I get to a scanner.
Yes. I did underexpose some of the shots by 1/2 stop.
