As it so happens I just got back my first roll of Fuji Provia F today.
On it were some macro shots of frog spawn I thought might be nice. They
are quite stunning 8-)
For once I had the time and the gear and seem to have used both to great
effect. Benbo bent low and with legs immersed, 90/2 macro stopped right
down, self timer on 4Ti and good light.
I feel a large Ilfochrome classic coming on ;-)
It is a great feeling when all the elements synergise and seem to go
right.
This is a wonderful film, it will be my slide film of first choice. I do
not think it's palette is unnatural. I suppose it is in the eye of the
beholder. I think this film is a natural choice for macro use.
I was not happy with the over the top colour of Velvia but I liked the
fineness of grain. Now there is even finer grain without the colour
blush.
