I photographed in the previous photo I posted.

I used it to get familiar with Fuji Velvia 50 slide film that I would like to use for landscapes on my next trip. The big question is, do I like the highly saturated result and shoot it at EI 50, or do I overexpose it a bit at EI 40 and use that instead. This photo was taken with my DSLR after the session and it will take some time to get the Velvia film developed.
