... How do you measure color accuracy? Is there a subjective element to a person's experience of the color ... When you approaching a traffic light, can you tell the difference between the light colors? Is it subjective or objective? Of course anyone can measure the color accuracy, it's just that some think color accuracy does not matter to some degree. And that is a matter of taste. ... All the nature photographers said they used velvia, ... This is probably quite true in USA, at least in California. I found this once when I went to Camel, the little lovely "city by the sea", where there are lots of galeries. I found that almost all paitings, photography, "fine-art", etc. are Velvia-like. All have strong, bold colors -- even the B&W!. Something you don't always see in the museums. I've seen a painting that makes the Paris Marais looks like the Mexico. -- Nothing wrong, of course. That's what he sees, or, that's what the buyers would pay. |

Here's my thing. I like walking around in nature, looking at little things like veins in leaves, insects, patterns of insect holes in bark. I've been extremely unimpressed with my photographs, but the photos shot with velvia seem to most accurately re-create *my experience* in nature. I'm trying to figure out if my attitude towards nature brightens what I perceive, or if actually regular film is dull, as one of the velvia-using nature photograhers told me. Steve |

Its not an easily answered question, perhaps your perception
is that the colors and textures of nature are somewhat magical. Or the film just matches your perception of them,...its really not unusual for people to have different perceptions of color,...color is emotional,....which is why--- for me B&W is a more thought provoking media, the image only stands on composition and light. Never the less because Velvia is such a vibrant film you are willing to except its rendition as what you perceived,.... when in fact if you held the slide up too the original scene it might in fact be somewhat different. Most imagery I've seen that was done on Velvia i like, but you could try shooting several films of the same experience and look at them under the same conditions. Lots of photographers shoot color patches and grey cards to form a "real time impression of what the film is capable of. Velvia is slow, but it is very sharp & tight grained. It could also be that your lab does real well with this particular film versus the others you have tried. In article , "Steve Lefevre" wrote: Here's my thing.

When you approaching a traffic light, can you tell the difference between the light colors? Is it subjective or objective? Of course anyone can measure the color accuracy, it's just that some think color accuracy does not matter to some degree. And that is a matter of taste. So what film is the most accurate? Kodak claims that Ektachrome 64 Professional is the most colour accurate film they sell. Some other photographers might tell you that they get better colour accuracy using Professional Kodachrome 64. In general, if you go for a higher saturation film, you can always knock the saturation down a bit for printing. In that case, choosing Velvia, or E100VS, or similar, might allow more room to get what you feel best matches the colour in the final printed image. Here's my thing. I like walking around in nature, looking at little things like veins in leaves, insects, patterns of insect holes in bark. I've been extremely unimpressed with my photographs, but the photos shot with velvia seem to most accurately re-create *my experience* in nature. I'm trying to figure out if my attitude towards nature brightens what I perceive, or if actually regular film is dull, as one of the velvia-using nature photograhers told me. That could be the situation. I think the idea of lush green plants, and vibrant nature, could enhance the memory of these places. It is always easier to lower saturation, than to increase it. While imaging software can be used to boost colour saturation, it can often look much more "unnatural" than just using a highly saturated film. Ciao!
