LKSC Posted February 27, 2007 Share #41 Posted February 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Choose your subjects wisely. I often use a handheld meter on a sunny day and rate it at ISO 80 or even 100 if I am going for rich color. Also, study some of the greats of National Geographic, Sam Abell, David Alan Harvey and most definitely William Albert Allard. They all shot loads of Kodachrome from the 60's to the late 80's. In all honesty, National Geographic looked best in that day and age, I am not overly impressed with the Velvia days and later. Also look at Jay Maisel and Peter Turner's work as well. Get this book by Allard, some of the best use of Kodachrome you will ever see, seriously, get it right now: eBay: Portraits of America by William Albert Allard (2001) (item 120073378056 end time Mar-10-07 11:30:39 PST) As I am doing a project on Kodachrome, I have different lenses in terms of contrast levels. Highest contrast being Leica aspherics, mid level are Nikon AIS, lower contrast are Hasselblad XPan. This helps me control contrast in the film which can not be adjusted inherently. This must be what they call synchronicity! Just as I was reading your post the mailman arrived with K64 sent by a friend in New York. Thank you for the pointers, Daniel.
