Why We Love Velvia.
This photo has minimal post processing; no warming filter, pretty much as scanned except for taking down a teensy bit of the highlights and dropping the shadows toward silhouette. Dec 11, 2010. Leica M6 50mm on Velvia 100.
That sunset had a really special aspect to the light (beyond the obvious). There were rainbow glints in the bright sunny clouds. I think they are ice rainbows. Some optical phenomena are easy to capture by camera; others not so easy. I was hoping to catch the rainbows, but I guess I didn't.

Hmm; for the administrators. When I posted an image that was too large, the website barfed html text all over the page.

Great color and yes, Vevia is still great.
You can post up to 720 pixels on the long side, but it has to be under 300kb. Don't know what size you tried.
