Away from EOS and in to philosophy ...
People see: cameras, spectrometers, film, CCD's etc merely respond to
electromagnetic radiations. Vision is about light and light is
perceived NOT merely recorded. Ah, but it is the same stuff. How we
see things is precisely how we perceive them. The moon *is* bigger
when it gets close to the horizon: the reason optical instruments
fail is because they cannot step beyond simple transcription to begin
to appreciate the world.
So: if Velvia produces images that look how people remember seeing
something: it *is* the most appropriate film. If human vision
includes the subconcious ability to make allowance for colour casts
... then to pretend that snow really did look deep blue if farcical.
The world we live in trancends mere physics. Ultimately the world of
our senses is the most important world to most people.
