Commented on Kodachrome finally taken away
to me, it's not the colors that i will miss (tho i will) - it's the durability of Kodachrome. i have boxes of slides my parents shot in the early 1960's on both Kodachrome and Ektachrome. the Ekta is all...

No accounting for taste of course, but those of you disdaining to eat octopus may simply not have had them prepared right. The fisherman must beat them against a rock for a while as soon as possible after capture, in...

A sad day, because Kodachrome is so durable as well as beautiful. I've not been convinced by the digital recreation of the Kodachrome look, and my Kodachrome slides will endure long after a hard drive is obsolete or corrupted. Just look at this Kodachrome image from 65 years ago, could have been taken yesterday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelgsmith/2306611086/...

There is a Kodachrome Photoshop action available on the web. There is also a Tri-X action for those who like monochrome photography. You can find them (and Infrared and Velvia actions) here: http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=pbize1&templatefn=FileSharing15.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.15.xml&sitefn=TKSite.3.xml&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en and examples here: http://homepage.mac.com/pbize1/Scripts/PSAMenu.html...

It feels strange. Something I never shot when I was young, but started to shoot later, and before I could really appreciate it, it is gone. The development process was ultra complicated, toxic, but the result is nothing any other slide film will ever show. Plus the fact that in more than 200 years those slides will look like there were developed yesterday. None of the other slides will look like this. So I totally shamelessly plug two of my favorite Kodachrome shots here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gullevek/1827760727/in/set-72157602822665168/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/gullevek/1851520713/in/set-72157602822665168/ rest can be seen in my kodachrome set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gullevek/sets/72157602822665168/...
