[Leica] IMG: Lugites in Santa Fe, April 2007

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Greg that really surprises me that the film was Provia 100F. This is the 
film that I have settled on as the very best for what I
like to do. I've started using it for nearly everything, since it seems to 
do better on people than Velvia 100F being less
saturated/boosted/contrasty but equally sharp. I was thinking of Sensia 100. 
As you say, for the indoors shot you must have had
awful lighting. 
Did anyone shoot with an M8 perhaps? Brian? Sonny? Interesting to see the 
comparison. 
I was actually mainly looking at the outdoors shot. Not fair to make a 
judgement on one shot, I guess.
These are scanned from Provia 100F. Just family stuff. The lighting is 
indoors during daylight, so predominantly available window
light, perhaps it has negated the indoor lights.

Actually it was Provia 100F slide film. This film really does not like mixed 
indoor lighting and I don't like trying to colour
correct. This is the downside of bringing just one Leica while on vacation.
