Cronilux Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share #42 Posted July 1, 2019 vor 8 Stunden schrieb adan: I would accept all of those as being "in the ballpark" of Kodachrome in one of its many moods, while closer to the pre-1974 versions. They have the contrasty-but-not-saturated look KI/II produced sometimes when exposed "bright." Certainly more like Kodachrome than like the various flavors of E6 films or color negs. They would "pass" for Kchrome if I saw them in a National Geographic magazine from 1965 ± 10 years. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photos/kodachrome-photo-gallery/ About the only thing that looks a bit odd is the smaller, lower, stoplight in #3. I don't ever remember a stoplight blowing to yellow that much with Kodachrome. But that may just be the new intense LED traffic lights we have these days. Don't know if you saw this site, which has some more examples. http://radoslawpujan.com/blog/kodachrome/ Thank you!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted July 1, 2019 Share #43 Posted July 1, 2019 To go further in the chromatic rendering of this Kodachrome 64 (as sample of large subtle hues more visible on the projected slide😞 ) Let's have a close look at the center of the previous full slide, here 100% crop. Let's just count the greens (of this small part) and the subtle "pink" of the house and the deep colors of the greens and other beige of the paths ... Yellow/red patterns and over all the pinkish roofs ... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Cronilux Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share #46 Posted July 2, 2019 Question. Why are there sometimes faded blacks and then again bold contrast, even under similar lighting situations? Is it because the film got pushed or pulled? Different lenses? I mean I am learning a lot. It’s just tough right now to find a common look, that was somehow frequent.

Exodies Posted July 2, 2019 Share #47 Posted July 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I’m having trouble figuring out how you decide that these weird colours are better than those weird colours. Were the Kodak alchemists mixing chemicals with something in mind or was it a case of “do you think you can sell this?” sent from lab to marketing?

a.noctilux Posted July 2, 2019 Share #48 Posted July 2, 2019 In my decades use, it was not easy (if not possible at all) to have pushed or pulled processed Kodachrome. Which are the "faded blacks" /"bold contrast" you refered to ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted July 2, 2019 Share #49 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I have a fair number of Kodachrome slides to be scanned. These are the only ones I've scanned so far. However, stage lighting is very different to daytime landscapes/streetscapes. Santana, early 1980s Kodachrome 64 Coolscan 5000, Silverfast Welcome, dear visitor!

I feel Iike your examples have always a tad faded blacks, while most other scans in here are quite bold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted July 2, 2019 Share #54 Posted July 2, 2019 Mark, 😊😍 I like Santana, but I have never seen him and his guys on stage. Those colors are something incredible. I must admit that in my own Kodachrome, I rarely encounter such "crying" colors ( in good "richness", of course). Sam, maybe my style of photographing or just my scanning (lack of) skill to be improved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edstock Posted July 5, 2019 Share #56 Posted July 5, 2019 As a rule I would generally underexposed K 64 by -1/3 stop. The K 25 and K 200 almost always let the exposure alone. I loved the “punch” of K’s colors. I turned to Fuji 50 and 100 when my stock of K was gone. Fuji gave very strong green, still does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCL999 Posted July 8, 2019 Share #57 Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Sam Below should be a link to a smugmug gallery with 22 pics taken on Kodachrome in 1957. Voigtlander Vito III, Ultron f/2 lens, Scanned with Epson Perfection 3200 Photo, https://alexanderrosser.smugmug.com/The-Kings-School/Kings-1957 They are a bit crappy with the usual spots, scratches etc. If you, or anyone, can point me to some good software for cleaning up old pics I would be grateful. Most software seems to be obsessed with umpteen variations on adjusting the colours. e.g. Luminar 3 Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted July 8, 2019 Share #58 Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Hello Alex, The scanner is very important, and good dedicated film scanner can be scarse and needs some know-how to exploit it at best. I began with Nikon Coolscan V ED (project to scan all or most of my Kodachrome as it has "kodachrome" preset, in 2007-2008). With time, dusty/scratched slides can be handle with it's ICE which is effective in most cases (not be usable on silver b&w negatives). Since I want to speed up the scan process, I explored also digital camera "scanning" for a while. Camera scans have so much dust/spots/scratches, some color shifts that I "almost gave up" and return to Coolscan V ED for periodic scanning. ... I've learned that scanning is very long and not always "like originals". And each film from different maker can be very difficult to reproduce, even if some "interpretations" can give some good scans, like here (link below) with Fujifilm 100 Provia F https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/284086-leica-m-film-photos-feel-free-to-share-yours/?do=findComment&comment=3602700 Edited July 8, 2019 by a.noctilux Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
