StS Posted July 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening, we are planning a competition based on Kodachrome film. It might be a good idea to order a roll now, since the plan is to start shooting from Friday, 31st July 2009. The (final) draft of the rules and time lines can be seen here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/barnacks-bar/91303-competition-based-kodachrome-film.html Kind regards Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBA Posted July 6, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2009 I've got a fridge full of the stuff and more on the way, so I don't plan to shoot my last Kodachrome until December 2010. Just sent off another dozen rolls to Dwayne's within the hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM-25 Posted July 7, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2009 Last roll in July of 09, what is with that? I am sending off about 12 rolls, like JBA and will shoot it until the lab is done running it. I know these challenges are fun for you and all, but lets not get carried away as the real challenge is making images good enough that the people who edit the book "Kodachrome at 75" will pick, that is if you have even joined the Kodachrome Project. And people published in the book will be paid a space rate by the way. I think it is funny how there are all these threads popping up on this site now in regards to Kodachrome while there has been a serious challenge going on for years now. Either way, I think the challenge is ill-timed as there is no stock of the film at the moment but there will be a lot of it in a matter of a couple weeks with delivery taking place on or around the 20th of July. If you move your start date to the first week of August, you will be giving your participants the chance to get the film in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted July 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 8, 2009 Rather than just a one-time Kodachrome Challenge, why not make it a monthly or bi-monthly challenge in which the winner gets to choose the theme for the next one? After all, not all of us are shooting our last roll of Kodachrome quite yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted July 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, if you check the last line of the rules: The winner gets the right to declare a slide film, which, in her or his view, is the best successor of Kodachrome, and whether we should make a new Challenge based on this slide film.

j. white Posted July 8, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 8, 2009 As an aside, the title of this thread gave me the idea of going to back to shoot some of the subjects shot with my first roll of Kodachrome. I remember two of those days of shooting well (two days! I was very careful about what to shoot back then). I'd just gotten my first Nikon and a friend gave me a roll of K-25, telling me, "You have to try this film. It's amazing!" One of the shots from that roll hangs on my wall to this day. Thanks for the indulgence... -J. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBA Posted July 9, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 9, 2009 I've just bought 40 rolls of KM-25. My last roll of Kodachrome is still probably a couple hundred rolls away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM-25 Posted July 9, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 9, 2009 I've just bought 40 rolls of KM-25. My last roll of Kodachrome is still probably a couple hundred rolls away. Just bought? Ouch, that must not have been cheap. I have 320 rolls of KM-25 and over 600 of KR-64, I just pulled out a brick of 25 to start a series of period dress portraits to be lit like Old Master's paintings. A week on Broadway ought to do the trick... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week on Broadway ought to do the trick... No, it was not cheap. I bought the initial brick on Ebay and then the seller contacted me with the offer of two more. I took one. Turns out he uses KR-64 professionally and used to use the KM-25 for duplicating but now no longer needs it now that he scans to digital. He didn't know about the Kodachrome Project and thought it was pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
