How to use Velvia 50?
When shooting Fuji Velvia 50, you need to factor in reciprocity failure for exposures of over 4 seconds. From 4 to 8 seconds you will need to allow and extra second and from 8 to 12 seconds you will need to multiply your exposure by 1½. For exposures from 16 to 30 sec multiply by 2.
What is reciprocity failure in photography?
EXPOSURES WITH ILFORD BLACK AND WHITE FILMS. Low Intensity Reciprocity Failure describes the phenomenon where if the same total exposure is given to photographic material over a longer period of time then the density of the image generated is lower (effective speed is reduced).
When to use Velvia?
Only use Velvia when you really, really want strong colors. While I find the colors to be rather accurate in hue, it’s easy for it to go over the top with saturation. The longer your exposure the more saturated the colors will become, particularly in those minutes well after sunset or before sunrise.

Which is better Fuji Velvia 50 or Provia 100?
One of the main differences is that it suffers far less from reciprocity failure, so it’s much easier to use for long exposures. Confusingly there is also Velvia 100 which is also better from a reciprocity failure point of view than Velvia 50, but is more saturated and contrasty than Provia.
Which is easier to shoot Precisa or Velvia?
Precisa is slightly easier to shoot than Velvia 50. For one thing it’s ISO 100, so hand holding a camera is feasible in good light. Also, it doesn’t suffer from reciprocity failure to anywhere near the same extent as Velvia. Some examples on Precisa…
How to create silhouettes in Fuji Velvia 50?
You may chose to create silhouettes from certain scenes by metering for highlights, or even capture broad shadow detail by sacrificing everything else. The main thing to remember is that this is just a starting point for you to begin or continue your own journey!
What kind of meter does Fuji Velvia use?
I use a hand held meter, a Minolta Autometer IV F with 5° spot attachment. The old adage is to expose for the highlights when using transparency film. It’s not as simple as that though. If you simply expose for the highlights in the sky you’ll get underexposed shots.
