My last kodachrome
Oct 13, 2011 14:31:42 #
I was able to shoot a couple rolls before it was discontinued at the end of 2010. I love this film and wish I could use more.
I shot these at the Colbert/Stewart Rally in DC and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.
This were shot in an Argus C2 rangefinder.

How did you get them digitized?
I scanned them. I shoot exclusively film and what I don't print in the darkroom I scan on an Epson V600.

Kodak had brilliant colors. It's a terrible shame it's gone. But with the crazy toxic 14 step process, it's surprising it lasted as long as it did. Well...there's always ektachrome and ektar, and the portras.

My MIL gave me a stash of film when I "borrowed" her old film SLRs, I'll look tomorrow to see if there is any kodachrome in the bunch and if so I'll gladdly send it to you, if you like. She gave me so much film that I wouldn't mind sharing the wealth so to speak.
I am really liking #1. Harley Quinn from Batman right?

mwac the last kodachrome lab (dwayne's Photo) stopped processing kodachrome dec2010. so the film is practically worthless. some people try to process it as black and white which the film base is the color dyes were added to it. if you are feeling generous i still shoot film occasionaly especially black and white.

You can develop it black and white if you've already got an image on there that you can't live without part of. It's a nastry process that fills your tanks with gunk and there's an extra cleaning step to get it off the film and out of your equipment.
Some guy bought one of the machines to develop it right before development ended, but he'll never get all the nasty chemicals. It's really gone.

oh I still shoot film, I'm actually in the process of teaching my 15 year old son the joys of using film. I actually like using expired film, the results can be surprising.
I believe that MPratter develops his film at home (correct me if I'm wrong), so if he can develop it himself and I have any, he can have it. I have no idea what is in the shoe box full of film that she sent. I just hap-hazardly grab a roll and play with it, when the mood hits.

quick someone tell paul simon. "mama don't take my kodachromme away"

I do develop it at home. I've got enough right now though, and would rather see yours in the hands of teenagers and moms.
Thank you so much for the offer though.

I sure will miss Kodachrome. I do have many old slides I have yet to scan, so I will continue to work with the images of Kodachrome, but alas, no more new images. Sigh.
