The way in-camera processing renders colors in Provia film simulation at these settings:
Color Hard, Sharpness Hard, Shadows/Highlight STD, Auto WB, DR100%, NRD MidLow
NOTHING has been applied to the image, except resize.
This slide color film has been discontinued many years ago. It has a misleading name since It's really 400 ISO for push processing just like Kodak Ektachrome P1600x.

The seaweed picture was taken after this one - quite thick cloud and a natural blue feel - and low light!
Couldn't find my composition from earlier in the year - the rocks had probably been moved in a storm
This is frame 3 from the test roll of Provia that I fed to my new Hasselblad 500 CM.
In other words, this is the third exposure I had to date made with that beautiful, sleek piece of history that had just come into my possession. I'm pretty satisfied that the image is exposed correctly and looks just like I remembered that scene (if a bit more saturated thanks to the film).
When I finished this roll, I went from excited to have completed my first roll of slide film (ever) to filled with dread at what might be on the roll.
I was terrified that I'd get back horrid results: blown skies, blocked up shadows, muddy negs. Unusable garbage. The lab folks would shake their heads and snicker at the incompetence of whoever had wasted their money sending in this particular roll of 120 film. Welcome to the inside of my head. :)
I did plenty of research and reading before buying the camera. I'd shot a ton of 35mm film and a couple dozen rolls of 120 film on a Yashica Mat, but this was the big time. This was the Hasselblad I'd dreamt of owning for years and it was slide film. Slide film doesn't mess around. I'd better be SURE I knew what I was doing if I was going to shoot this stuff. Etc. etc.
I'm pretty pleased with this result. The other 11 are also enjoyable and are likewise exposed correctly for the most part. There were some fumble-finger moments when I forgot to switch the ISO I'd plugged into my Sekonic which resulted in a couple of exposures metered at ISO200 rather than 100, but even those weren't awful, if a bit underexposed.
What a fun journey. Such a different process. I'm loving every minute of it.
