In Reply to: Does anyone find that Digital is a little too colourful? posted by R B on March 14, 2003 at 05:53:35:
I've used Fuji Velvia since it came out maybe 11 years ago or more.The most richly colorful slide film on the planet, I still love it.I never liked the old Kodakromes, they may have portayed more lifelike images,but I found that boring! Unless I utilized one or more of the 100 filters in my bag.
I do not use filters with my digi's however. Not when I have all the power at my fingertips, Photoshop 6 allows.I can desaturate or go beyond Velvia type films.Or anywhere in between.
I am the artist, and let the viewers see what in the photo that moves me, and bring out that so it has the same effect on the viewing public.
