Whether its true or not, the next 5 days call for rain.

I took advantage yesterday and today. I'm generally not a flower shooter though I wanted to see what Fuji 800 X-Tra looked like in very bright sunlight with lots of color.

All with the 50mm f/1.4 at various apertures and 1/1000 and 1/2000 for most images. Very minor color adjustments on some, most are untouched.

like the pix, did you overexpose it a bit?
i usually find that Fuji 800 is not supersaturated

Thanks K100D for the comments, exposure was at default. That was my last roll of Fuji 800 X-Tra, I'm going to try Kodak UMax 800 next to compare.

I find the colors to be great. I also like the heavy grain, though perhaps a little too much grain for flowers. Well done.

Thanks Javier, Looking forward to UMax 800 once the rain stops.
