one more turtle

Chris Bangs · Nov 21, 2004

this was shot at the same place but all I had was a very expired roll of Velvia 50 asa film, and on a overcast day to boot, so it is a bit darker than I like.

But as you can see Velvia also known as "Disneychrome" produces vivid colors. No color correction was done to this scan. another note that "Expired" Velvia tends to produce very deep blues. this roll is like 4 years past its "use by date" it has also benn through god knows how many airport scanners and left to bake in my home on Guam for a year.

edit: I was curious so I just checked the Turtles shell and flipper patterns on this shot and the last one I posted. - same turtle! there are at least 7 of them at the site, but I guess this one likes me!

Dang that is a pretty shot! Guess you should bake more film for 4 years before using!

Say, Chris, I hear you will be out Catalina way with Sapphire soon. Look forward to meeting you. We were "stormed out" today by a Northeaster. None of my buddies from the mainland decided to risk it... smart decision! Friday was gorgeous (65+ ft vis) and Sat was certainly OK.

I look forward to meeting you as well. Now siting here waiting on a phone call from the freight forwarder. I shipped my Drysuit with my stuff from Japan and the ship took two months to get here. ( typhoon issue ). the boat just arrived yesterday. may or may not get it before I start the seemingly endless journey!

I will be in Catalina about 24 hours after I arrive in LA. may be cranky, so get ready for lots of whining as I enter that cold water
