Woy Woy – The Film Version – Fuji GX617 – Velvia 50 Slide Film

A few posts ago I showed you all a shot from this location on sunrise shot as a panoramic stitch shot on the 5D MkII. I even did a video tutorial for Rubbing Pixels on the post production involved to get the shot to it print ready status. Well this shot is the film version from the Fuji GX617 on Velvia 50.

Camera Food

The other day I took delivery of my bulk order of Velvia 50 slide film from the US.

1 Brick and 5 rolls. (125 rolls all together).

With my gear this is equal to: 500 shots on my 617′s or 375 shots on my 624 or 1500 shots on the blad. Should keep me busy for a little while. But I will be ordering more next month.

Kata Tjuta (The Olgas)

I just got my slide film back from my trip to Uluru and Kata Tjuta aka Ayres Rock and The Olgas. For a trip without clouds the radiant hues you get from long exposure at dawn and dusk are fantastic. At the moment this shot is my favourite. Taken at first light when the sun just breached the horizon.

I don’t know what it was about this morning but the trademark Aussie flies were out in strength. The morning prior it was great just the odd fly, maybe over night a fresh batch were born ready to harass the tourists.

New images in the main gallery

The images below are just a few that have be added to my main gallery. More to come over the coming week. I’m loving the GX617 with the 90mm.

The morning light baths our beautiful city and harbour bridge in tones of pink and gold. This was the sunrise that greeted me on the morning of my Sydney City group course in September. The early bird catches the worm !

This shot is taken on Soldiers Beach on the Central Coast, NSW. When driving to the beach I could already tell that it was going to be an colourful sunset. On sunsets like this the one thing that stresses me is trying to find the location to take the best shot.

At the end of my recent Blue Mountains day course we all huddled at the end of the viewing platform surrounded by bus loads of tourists. As we waited we were asked frequently “Is there something special you are waiting for” by tourists who hung over the ledge and shot the scene with their tiny point and shoot cameras.

Curious Pelican, Turimetta Beach

On an cold and wet day I decided to go through my huge archive of transparencies and I came across this one taken about 6 years ago. When looking at the image it is funny how you are taken back to that exact moment. So I scanned the shot on my Imacon 343 scanner and when viewing the shot in Photoshop memories of the morning I took it started to come back to me. I recalled shooting in the other direction waiting for the sun to come up when I heard a sound behind me. I was initially taken by suprise when I turned and saw this curious fellow standing right behind me. I took one shot before he realised I was actually quite boring and he waddled off.

The shot to the right is taken on my Canon on a recent trip to Terrigal Beach on the Central Coast and the shot below is the sunrise shot I took that day after my feathered visitor left as the sun breached the horizon.

The shot below was taken on my Fuji G617 camera on Velvia 50 slide film. Wish I could remember the settings but it is a while ago now though I usually shoot at f16 and this looks like a 1/4 or 1/2 sec exposure.
