Do you remember Velvia 100?

In February 2010, Pat Yough, Chris Guss and I made an epic trip to Ontario.

Our days in Toronto were memorably cold, but extremely productive photographically.

Clear frosty conditions are excellent for photography, but rough on fingers and camera batteries.

We caught the evening rushhour at Sunnyside, west of Toronto Union Station.

Using a Canon EOS-3, I exposed this Velvia 100 (RVP100) color slide of passing GO Transit trains minutes before sunset.

Velvia 100 was a relatively short-lived emulsion. It had a wonderful color palate, and a softer edge than Velvia 100F that was offered about the same time. Both Velvia 100 and Velvia 100F were a full stop faster than the original Velvia 50. This one stop difference really helped when photographing moving trains at the end of the day. Velvia 50, although expensive, is still available.
