Thank god for kodachrome

[Rick50]

I drove out to Bryce Canyon Utah before sunrise and managed to hit 4 deer. 3 got knocked to the ground and all jumped up and ran off. I continued on and got some photos. Boy am I glad I did. This has been in a storage box since. This was almost 30 years ago.

Nice picture.

I was much more "into" photography in my Kodachrome years (40 years ago).

My opinion was that it was the best film available. It sure worked for me.

For me it was Tri-X.

I hope your driving has improved.

I loved Kodachrome 25, but was never quite so enthusiastic about Kodachrome 64. If you want to see Kodachrome at it's best check this out. 4×5 Kodachromes

K25 still rules. Too bad the King is dead.

I loved Kodachrome 64, and Kodachrome 64 Professional. I never liked the slow speed of Kodachrome 25--too much wind blurring on stuff with that slow of a speed.

I really liked the color balance of K25; I always thought K64 was shifted a bit red.

Tri-X was always good; a bit grainy, but it could be pushed nicely to ISO 1200. However my favorite B&W was Panatomic X @ ISO 32. Just stunning and extremely fine-grained.

Yeah!!!! A film so,so legendary, it had its own SONG written about it! I remember loving that song. i never felt so rich as when I would buy a "brick" of Kodachrome 64 Professional (20 whole rolls of 36 shots each! Woo-hoo!). My favorite trip with Kodachrome was to the 1986 incarnation of the Walla Walla Stampede, a big hot air balloon festival held every year in eastern Washington's gorgeous Palouse region, with rolling hills planted in gorgeous, green wheat!

Does Paul still pay a royalty to Kodak?

I'll grant you the slow speed of K25 could be a challenge at times. It's been so long ago now but I recall that K64 always seemed too contrasty and the colour rendering of K25 seemed more natural. For work I always had to deliver images fairly quickly, so it had to be E6.
