Thanks Jen. I used to work with film cameras, then along came digital so I sold them all. I found then that I became a bit lazy with getting an image right by checking the screen to see if everything was okay rather than concentrating on the shot in the first place. I bought second hand film cameras from on line auctions etc because the price fell, and now ten to think more about my picture than leaving it to chance.
That said, I still use digital now and again and love the clarity it gives me but am really enjoying film at the moment. So I use both.
As for PODs etc. In my opinion there are many photos on UF by excellent artists that are far more deserving of POD than this; but thank you for your nice comments.
Paul.

Thanks for the comment Jen.
In the days before digital there were a lot of different types of film made. Velvia was a slide film that made the colours very rich. It was a favourite of many landscape photographers, but not popular with portrait photographers.
The colours in this scene are real, just 'saturated' because of the film. About 3 years ago Fuji stopped making Velvia 50 and it became scarce. I found 5 rolls in a local camera store. Fuji have since started to make the film again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvia has some more information if you interested.
Best wishes.
Paul

I am sorry JP but I cannot. With a totally manual film camera the only way to record exif data would be to write it down. I didn't.
The DOF looks quite extensive so I would say F11 or F16. I rarely use minimum apertures, and prefer to work around the F8-F11 area. I use the markings on the lens to maximise DOF so at F11 would have focused at (just under) 3m into the scene, rendering everything between 1.5m and infinity in focus.
At F16 I would have focused 2m into the scene and everything between 1m and infinity should be in focus.
Without records though I cannot answer for sure.
As for speeds. By the movement in the grass and from past experiences and preferences I would say 1/8th - 1/30th of a second.
The camera was mounted on a tripod (Manfrotto 55CLB), centre column removed and the 'legs spread' so the camera was only about 20cm above the sand. (A friend with me photographed me taking this photo and I may well use it for my web site).
Shutter released with a cable release.
Hope this is enough info (although vague).

This is a spectacular image, Paul. The contrat between lights and darks, as well as the interplay of the rifts of sand with the fluid nature of the clouds is brilliant.
For curiosity-sake, can you enlighten me on the details of how you took the photograph (Shutter/Aperture/etc.)?
Cheers,
JP
