Babcock State Park in West Virginia. Rare example of being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment. Minor manipulation in PS - those were really the colors that glorious day.

Gorgeous image!

I sometimes miss film and especially Velvia, sure you can saturate colors all you want with digital photos but there was something great about getting developed slides back from the lab, putting them on the light table and seeing those saturated colors pop out of the loupe.

Of course shooting at ISO 50 or when I really needed it push processing Velvia to ISO 100 is something I don't miss

Yeah - Velvia was made for this shot

Fabulous shot, hope you have that hanging on your wall somewhere!

Those were the days. You had to rely on your skills, not on software. Gorgeous shot.

Lovely photo. I have never taken a photo as nice as that. Very nice. I love film but by the time I get a roll developed and scanned large enough to make prints and ship both ways it is just too costly. I miss our local labs.

Thanks for nice comments.

Just to be clear - I too no longer shoot film for that reason. I seldom “spray and pray”, but don’t think twice of shooting at high frame rate since it costs me nothing. Not mention no need to rewind and reload

Fuji film! Those were the days, super shot.

Love the colors that frame the centre.
