Mar 24: Not Kodachrome

I’m not sure if this is my PotD, or if my PotD is a latent image inside this canister. I expect there are more interesting pictures than this inside the cnister! The Kodachrome I ordered last week still hasn’t arrived and with Todd shooting Kodachrome like it’s going out of fashion, I felt the need to shoot some film. I had a roll of Kodak 400UC in the fridge, and threw it and the EOS 50E in a bag before heading to the beach. Actually, I hate 400UC. Or rather my film scanner does, and all but the most expensive labs mess up printing it. But then, these days, all but the most expensive labs mess up printing any colour neg film! So, this roll’s going off to my favourite pro lab for dev and scan to CD. Some of them might end up here on pbase.

Oh, and for those wags who are bound to ask... what’s film?

Very sad but recongnised the camera before reading the description! Looking forward to seeing the results!

I admire your dedication to this cause.

A lovely shot. I saw this and thought, "Hey it's here... oh, no it's not..." I wish I could say I was taking great shots with that Kodachrome, but I'll have to wait to find out. So far I think I have a plethora of flower pictures. I'll be glad when your film arrives. Looks like we might have some company, I think Jeanne and Poochdad have ordered some Kodachrome... :-)

I clicked on the link that said What is film and learned much more that I will ever need to. Good job.
