Velvia 100 - Lightroom 3

I have been trying to use the Beta of Lightroom 3 in hopes that i can speed up my workflow in post processing. Im still not crazy about the noise reduction over CaptureNX, nor the rendering of highlights in peak colors. The speed, however, is a fair bit better. For a very good review of quality output between the two, see Todd Owyoung's post at ishootshows.com

And now for the fun with film...Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 with my Nikkormat EL-24mm f/2.8D-35mm f/2.0D-20mm f/2.8-180mm f/2.8D. Various forms of lighting from (1) Nikon SB800 triggered through a sync cable, a (2) LED micro panel and (3) Nikon SB900 w/ Lumiquest Softbox III.



Lighting (3) from camera left. Sun provides fill from right.

Apparently im spoiled by quality autofocus. Even with split prism focus assist on the Nikkormat, i still pulled my focus poorly. shame on me...out of practice. =/
