Velvia 50

This film expired (I assume that's what the date on the box means, anyway) in 2001. A decade ago. It still looks pretty awesome. Since I do not have E-6 chemistry, I took this to AZ Photo Lab and had them develop the film for me. An $11 well spent, I think.

Each scan is straight off of my Canoscan 8800F. No curve adjustments, no levels, nothing - saved as TIFF from the scanner software, exported to smaller JPEGs by Lightroom 3 after I added metadata. I'll just post the whole roll, since my Pentax 67 gets 10 frames to a roll of 120 film. Not everything is great, but I really like a few of them.

From the start: my first color slide frame ever. Not quite as saturated as I'd hoped, but it's overexposed about a stop and a quarter.

some nice shots.

I'm on a new Dell laptop monitor, but they seem to have an ever so slight magenta tint to them.

On my less than cutting edge laptop, looks fine to me... The last one would be my favorite. Nice stuff.

Good lookin' dog!

Thanks folks. The colors look fine to me, but I'm "calibrated." Of course the stuff did expire a decade ago, so it's entirely possible there was some color shift in the film itself. Considering I've never looked at slides before I've got no idea what I'm really even talking about, it was just fun to see them on a light table.

Abbey, the dog, is a rescue pup from BARC in Houston. I picked her up a little more than a month ago. She's great.
