Can't pass up this opportunity "come out" and reveal the actual physical repulsion I experienced each time I see a Velvia print attempting to depict an element of the natural world. Now, in a PS world of hue and tone sliders, I long for the limits previously imposed by the availability of a single offending film. Juicing colors is one thing, but bizarre, bad dream, newly hatched color images offered as serious straight-up nature scenes is always an unpleasant experience. I know, it's art..nuff said.
