I don't use Velvia at the track because it is soooooo slow! ;-) I'll be using Provia for that.
The Canis flower is actually a very vivid orange. I think (with my funky eyes) that Velvia gives very natural colors. Again, this is for the subjects that I normally shoot and why I wanted to see some examples of "bad" Velvia. Then again, maybe I'm weird.....
