Velvia a Paris

A few months back I found an old expired roll of Velvia 100 slide film in the back of my photo drawer. For some reason, I’d never tried slide film in my T2 so thought I might as well give it a go. These are the results. They’re mostly from when Eri & I went to Paris a month or so ago, although a couple are from London. I really like the high contrast feel in these – really works well for Paris. I can imagine that the saturation would be far too strong for a lot of subjects, but it makes for a nice change from the films I’ve been using in the T2 recently. I wish I knew some shops near me which actually had a decent selection of film so I could buy some more – guess it’s going to have to be eBay again, if I can work out how to actually win an auction.

Following on from the last post, and one of the better ideas generated from the idea factory, comes this new(ish) Kitkat Hazelnut (I think), which I tried today for the first time. The bars are 2 individual fingers, wider than the usual Kit Kat size. There is one layer of Kit Kat wafer at the bottom and a lovely praline-ike Hazelnut paste on the top, all wrapped in chocolate. This was very nice indeed, one of the best of the special edition Kit Kats that I’ve had, possibly second only to the aforementioned Passion Fruit, and certainly, without doubt, better than the recently released salt one! It was certainly perfect for a moment of precious indulgence!
