Title:	The Cottage
Gear used:	Olympus OM-4 Sigma 28mm f2.8.and polariser
Aperture used:	f16
Shutter speed:	1/60
Film used:	Fuji Velvia 50
Subject information:	I really loved the varities of colour and the stark white walls of the building to really show off the colours in scenery! Used the flowers in front to give some sort of focal point.
Technical information:	Took a number of spot meterings. Two off the grass and one from the sky to help slightly under expose the shot and keep detail in the whites and saturate the colours.

What I really like in this shot is that everything seems to be either very harsh red, green, blue or white. Lovely! And this comment is coming from someone who's not too keen on Velvia normally...;)

I recognized immediately the Velvia/Polarizer combo! Very nice.

I have always prefered b&w and when colour is appropriate I have a liking for subdued colour. From that starting point I shouldn't really like this shot but I think it is wonderful. Maybe it is the vividness of the colours while still maintaining a pure white, maybe it's the colour falling within RGB. Whatever it is this is just about the most striking colour shot I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. Superb!

Absolutely stunning. The high colour saturation works very well here.

Great image. Perfect metering. I really like the colors. Clean, graphic image. Sigma? I thought only Zuikos could look this good :-)
