We have one stock shooter up here in the frozen north that shoots Velvia
with enhancing filters then dupes the result with Velvia again to get really
really punchy colours. Personally I find Velvia greens make me a little
queasy in the stomach. It is great if there is not much there ­bringing out
the green in our icebergs :-)­ but a bright sunny day, green fields and
polarised Velvia brings the green out in me! Provia and Provia F are a
little "punchyer" than Kodachrome but the reds are not as nice.

First Rule: Never point a Velvia Loaded Camera at a Person!

Velvia does not make people blotchy. People make people blotchy!
