Default For the camera buffs.


Now that I am thinking about it, it wasn't "Kodachrome" that I was so
impressed with. I think Kodachrome was pretty much the standard film, in
different ASAs, wasn't it?
The film I was thinking about was "Ektachrome". It seemed to be much more
vibrant, colorwise. I still have boxes of slides that I took, back when I
was trying this stuff. One still cracks me up - I was laying prone on the
ground taking a close up shot of a couple of geese when one of them
lowered it's head and charged me. I couldn't get out of the way fast
enough and all you see in the slide is a giant beak about to devour the
camera.


Kodachrome = prints (negatives)
Ektachrome = transparencies (slides)

Kodachrome favored the reds and yellows and Ektachrome favored the greens
and blues.
