National Geographic: The Last Roll of Kodachrome

Nostalgics beware...

So many keepers from a roll of film? Not a film waster eh?

Looking forward to watching this when I have half an hour.

Shamefully I did waste my last roll for development by underexposing all but one frame of a 36 roll, by mis-setting the X or M sync using flash bulbs, thereby wasting 35 M2 bulbs as well     

For a few minutes I tried to persuade myself that I'd photographed the fuzzy white noise image of my de-tuned CRT television 35 times, but truth is best not avoided when trying to learn.

Or should this be in a special 'Roll of Shame' thread for absolute bloomers?

An interesting documentary, thanks for posting!

Have these already appeared in print in National Geographic? 'The Magician' looks like a great portrait.  His process, of using lots of digital test shots, just to be sure, was interesting, something I've only done in the studio rather than 'out there'. I guess it was important for him not to 'fluff' this one. I'm so pleased NG wasn't following me on my last Kodachrome shoot.

I still have a few rolls laid by for using and b/w developing when I've a spare week.
