This photo was taken in 1964 with an Alpa 6b with f1.8 50mm Switar lens. Film was Kodachrome II. Slide was copied with my sony A57 & Minolta 50mm macro.
Nice shot. Blue on purpose?
Can you PP it to bring out the color to this image? Or make it just B&W?

I could do a lot of things, but I choose not to. Have you ever dealt with 50+ year old transparencies?
It's a classic but too blue. Sorta sounds like a girlfriend I once had.
i myself like the blue. I like this photo just the way it is, but another thing that I think could be done if one wanted to, would be to deepen the blue, and increase the white. Maybe, maybe not, but it is great just the way it is. Of course, blue is my favorite color so I am biased.
I dug out the slide and copied it again after massaging the white balance. I like it better, but the blue is still predominant.

Great shot and great image transfer.
A truly beautiful photograph!! Congratulations. Like you, I own, and still have my Alpa 6. The Kern-Switar lens is terrific and its close focusing capabilities were very useful. I am seriously thinking of buying some film and doing some shooting with it and my Nikon F. Post more shots if you have them. My DSLR is my mainstay, but I have a deep affection for both the old film cameras.

It has a lot of blue, but who cares!! It casts a spell - creates a mood. I enjoy it.
