Jerry,
Fuji NPS. The scene was so contrasty with the clear blue-sky sidelight on the rocks and shadows the Velvia scans weren't usable, at least out of my Microtek. I shot about half and half because I was looking at the light on the foreground rocks and figured Velvia would have problems. But I like the strong, glowing foreground rock.
BTW, I have an identical shot taken about 2 minutes later that's flat as a pancake and the rhodies actually pop out considerably better. I'll post that one here too and we'll see how people like it.
