It was one of the first pictures I had taken on an EOS 100 I had been testing back in 1991. I hadn't discovered that Fuji Velvia was better rated at ISO32 and not it's indicated ISO50. Five rolls of film with a lovely underexposed blue hue... Doh! I'll give it a 2 out of 5!
Not a bad shot Pete, I like the kinda quirky angle it seems to have, round and slanted - works well with the baloons.
As for rating Velvia at ISO 32 - dont always agree - yeah it'll give you more colour saturation and contrast, but come-on if Velvia isnt contrasty enough for you alredy....!
Actually I think its personal opinion - people should try adjusting the ISO (or just deliberately over/under exposing 1/3 stop) out with a few rolls and see what works for them and their type of photography.

It was the 15mm Canon wide-angle. 64 ISO would normally be better to underexpose slightly and increase saturation but in Velvia's case, as David pointed out Velvia is contrasty enough so rating at ISO32 reduces this a little making the trannies sparkle. Well it does on my tatty old EOS 100!
Only 3 Years and 7 months later.....Great Shot Pete!

Can't help wondering if, when you posted this opening ePz shot, you imagined how things would be today.
IE. a huge successful site with thousands of enthusiastic and talented members.
Must make you smile despite the difficulties.
anyway, thanks, and all the best for the season.

I think this snowy effect, Is very good. I think this picture is very white, but i like it 
I don't know why but I just had an urge to find out who posted the first ever pickie on EPZ - I suppose it had to be a staff member. Strangely it was 582 days before anyone posted a comment about it! I suppose the site was not available until September 2002.
There are other photo sharing sites out there (which I won't mention) but I always come back to EPZ as my favourite. Keep up the great work!

The horizon isn't straight!
Terrific use of the fisheye lens, Pete. Makes me wonder why we don't see more evidence of its use here on EPZ. I think I might have preferred to see a universally blue sky throughout rather than the flash of sun light at the top left of the frame...I think....
now its at 100 well done
Love the aspect!
Wonderfully Amazing capture !!

Hi Peter,
A little bit of web history, a bit like Time Team in this subject matter. The first 13 photographs uploaded on the very first page were by you.,,, and congrats on your foresight,,,,Maybe the question has been posted already but were the photography’s posted in favourite sequence by you and if not which one of the uploads is your no 1 on that first visit. Regards……….Paddy.

No favourites. I just scanned a few film pics in and some shot on budget digital to start the gallery off. They were picked for variety to give people an idea for uploads. They're quite embarrassing now but I won't take them away.
great image even with blue ...
