The Calm at Mono Lake
I shot this many many years ago with a 6x45 Medium Format Camera using Fuji Velvia 50 film. Notice the purplish and bluish hue, the film was about 6 months expired. Film is like an organic matter and has an expiration date. The older it gets the colors will start to take on different characteristics. You'll either hate it or love it.
I didn't bother with the color correction because I liked the way the film interpreted the scene. A cold morning, calm, and no wind to cause chaos anywhere.
Have you been to Mono Lake?

The water of the lake is calm, and peaceful.
I wouldn't have bother with color correction either ... but I am wild child that way. Looks like a wonderful place to be. Great shot, adonis:)
Cracking photo.
Velvia is still wonderful. You should post a photo of the slide for those who've never seen one and experienced it's magic.
Do you still use this camera//film?
Nah, it's way too expensive now and I doubt I can find Velvia 50 for sale anywhere.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. Anyways this is such a nice picture.
awesome, I curated a gallery of mono lake photos on my website a while back https://www.aminus3.com/threads/beautiful-mono-lake/
Good stuff!
though it's a very old photo, but it's still very good when I see it. not least also with super-sophisticated cameras in the present, because to produce high-quality photos. in need of expertise that is populated.

i @djamidjalal comes from indonesia, i am new user in steemit. greeting me respectfully
That is absolutely stunning!
Not only a cool photo but also very emotional: made me feel very calm
Stunning photo! Looks like a beautiful place to go to!
I didn't know film expires. The colors are still interesting. I'd like to think it's still part of nature's hue. Also, those rocks in the background look like castles to me.
Very silent, quite, beautiful, and i feel a mysterious aura. Good post!
Nice🧐
Very nice! Where is Mono Lake?
Eastern California.
Hello, very nicely divided plans in the picture. It's in the center until you see more in this water ... yeah, I want to look at it and go deeper.
God, I miss my 645D. The exposure came out great for a positive film. Did you use a handheld light meter? Cool shot.
Yes I used when I was shooting Large Format film.
Beautiful
Not doing any colour correction was an excellent choice. It really doesn't need it - so beautiful as is.
