Here's a couple of pictures taken with Velvia.

A fence. November 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 80-200mm/2,8D.

Same morning, same sky, same location as the other morning sky pictures though looking south. On the large picture (click the preview) you can see that I've overseen some dust pecks during the scan. I didn't have the dust removal feature of the LS-30 turned on for any of the pictures here btw, and the only post-processing done was to crop them in Photoshop. May 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 20mm/2,8D.

Moved to a new location and caught the sun rising. It had been raining heavily in the night, hence the interesting clouds. May 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 20mm/2,8D.

The altar of the Roman-Catholic Chapel St.Leonard in Hüfingen, Germany. August 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 80-200/2,8D at some 150mm. Handheld with no flash fill.

Sun is now up, but it's still fairly dark in the small villages. The water in this tiny river is warmer than the air, creating a light fog. May 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 50mm/1,4.

A "side river" to "our" river Breg, early evening in May 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 50mm/1,4.

An entrance to the Fürstenberg Castle of Hüfingen, completely renovated in 1997 and meanwhile a home for elderly people. Picture taken early in the evening and the warm light makes it inviting. May 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 50mm/1,4.

A field on the Baar, Germany while the sun is rising. Technically not a good one, but sort of interesting. July 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 20mm/2,8 D.

A field in Alsace, France. July 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 20mm/2,8 D.

A "Butterfly bush" in our garden. August 1999. Nikon F5, Nikkor AF 80-200/2,8D. The picture is unsharp due to a slight wind making the bush move.
