When Margaret and I visited Madison, a town in southern Indiana right on the Ohio River, in October, I brought a lot of film. One roll was Fujifilm Velvia 50 in 120 that I loaded into my Yashica-12.
Autumn colors were in full display that weekend, and the sun was out in a partly cloudy sky. It was a terrific time to be shooting Velvia.
Here are the photos from the roll that I like best.

I love the first image :)
Me too – it’s why it’s first!
Great results! I’ve always had iffy results with Velvia, a tendency to be too contrasty for me, but these look perfect. Velvia is one of those films that when you can find it, is way over priced now. Think I saw a roll of 35mm for $35.00!!
I have one roll of Velvia left, and it may be my last. I can’t justify the cost.
Great colours! Very purple skies . . .
Indeedy! I was just commenting on another blog the other day about how I get purple skies on Velvia.
Medium format + Velvia. !!!!!
It’s a winner!
Wow, those reds really pop!
Don’t they though?
Love all the images, that Velvia is awesome!!!
It’s such an interesting film.
Beautiful colours. Great photographs. The cinema and livery stables shots are exceptional.
Thank you!
Wow. The third image with all the red in the store fronts! That really pops! The church spire is lovely too.
That’s the thing with Velvia: colors almost supernaturally bright.
Those colors are gorgeous!
That’s Velvia!
