Kodakchrome Red

Scottsdale, Arizona

Kodachrome film was known for its rendering of red. This photo of the Scottsdale Waterfront is from my last roll of Kodachrome. Manufacturing of Kodachrome has ceased and December 31 was the last day to have the film in for development in the US.

Sad to see film go. Love the composition and the red just pops. A great composition and depth.

Thank you Terry, Pat, Frank, Jeff, Bob, Jim, Pete, Hal and Michael.
Pat, Thanks for the lyrics. It is the end of an era.
Bob, I'll get those old film cameras right in the mail to you. :-} NOT!
Michael, Don't you have some Kodachrome coming back from Dwayne's too?
Michael Edwards17-Jan-2011 02:13
Absolutely STUNNING!
WHY has this stuff been removed from our hands!
Cindy, this is about as good as it gets, which in your hands, is pretty close to stratospheric...

A remarkably fine image Cindy. National Geographic relied on it for many years.
This is easily up to their standard. Thanks for the memories.

Certainly I can see the kodakchrome appeal - Jim 40,000 slides - now I know why you have been looking a old barns - for storage space!!!

Sad to see it go, I know I shot over 40,000 slides in Kodachrome. Cindy, you made an excellent image for this fine film to record!

I guess you'll have to toss those old film cameras.
If you need somewhere to send them.... :-)

Well Done Cindy! The color and detail gives me the
sense of being there!

I have never used Kodachrome Cindy.
But the colour tones are stunning in this fine city shot.
Guest 16-Jan-2011 17:48
Love the scene and the colors....


Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Canon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Yes, this does look like good old Kodachrome. The reds are great, but so
is your overall composition. Great dof!
