Kodachrome 64
Some of these images were shot going back more than 40 years ago.
Film has that look that is very popular today, with film simulations all the rage.
The photos that I have chosen to display here are of no particular subject and in no particular order, and I will continue to add to them.
NOTE.....All the photos can be expanded full screen.
Contrasty Chromes
There probably is a lot of you that took up photography in the digital age and never got to experience shooting with film, or in particular with Kodachrome slide film.
Negative film has a wider exposure latitude when compared to slide film, and one took this in to consideration when shooting with either negative or slide film in the field, with bracketing of Kodachrome slide film important when faced with an image as seen here with deep shadows in play.
If you underexposed Kodachrome the end result was a very contrasty image as seen in the above photo. The plus was that the colors popped.
Printing slide film did not print as well as negative film because the materials to print it were also fairly high contrast, but could be controlled using contrast masking with beautiful results possible.
The above photo was shot on Kodachrome back in the mid 1980's while we were hiking in Kananaskis Country located west of Calgary. This view was shot at sunrise overlooking Marl Lake, a tiny backcountry lake we visited more than once over the years.
