I exposed this Velvia 50 35mm color slide of an&nbsp;Nederlandse Spoorwegen VIRM electric multiple unit&nbsp;using my Nikon F3T. This distinctive-appearing passenger train was relatively new to the railway at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always been impressed by the vivid colors rendered by this film on a dull day. It is no wonder that Velvia is favored by nature photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"318\"
