St. Anthony Falls

Winter in the city - hand-rolled redscale Fuji Velvia. I hadn't actually intended to redscale my velvia, but it got mixed up inside my rolling bag. Since it is a slow film, it required a TON of sunlight to develop properly. I like how intensely red everything turned out. It really warms up the view considering that they day I took these, it was -15 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Wonderful picture and what a contrast, the glowing red and the frozen river.

    @guja thank you! Yes, it does give the illusion of warmth, doesn't it? Velvia is such a wonderful film, I'm glad it kept its tonality after being red-scaled.

    whoa! hard to believe it's Velvia, I'd never seen it redscaled before. AWESOME!

    @lorrainehealy Yes, I was pretty upset when I had realized that I red-scaled it by accident. But the results look cool, so I guess I'm not too angry.

    @bluelizard Thank you! Velvia was a different choice for redscale, but I think it works. :-)
