Hot Spot
This is an oldie, one of the frames from the last roll of Kodachrome (64) I shot. It was a very hot late afternoon when I came upon this scene, which I think I shot with a Contax T2 (a wonderful dead-end camera!). I just reflexively raised the camera and shot this one frame. A second later the light changed and the whole scene fell apart. The sweat-soaked man standing next to the attractive woman in the red-hot red dress was just too cute to miss. No, it's not perfectly-framed but it's one frame that will always make me smile. Moral: Shoot first, think later.
I don't care what anyone says, no jpeg recipe has come close to actual Kodachrome
Sorry to be the pedant in the room, but this feels like it should be a dailies post?
I'm happy to see the photo and the story here in chat. Kodachrome is always worth it's own thread. (But yes, it would also work in dailies, but I like the relaxed rules around here).
As a first-week newcomer I’m still getting the hang of the ‘hoods. So you may be right. Sorry. (Technically, however, it’s been 17 years since this would have qualified as a “daily”…or even a monthly…shot!😉)
