How's about this then guys and gals?

Use this thread as a collaboration for Kodachome shots.

One image each - any subject.....  Post away!

Good Idea Matt. 

Provided we get enough, I'll set them as a special collab gallery.  Shall we say a deadline of 31 January 2011?

Great idea, Leon - I have no idea where my early 80s stuff is - I may be gone a while!

Taken at Edwards Air Force Base, California, December 1984.

Space Shuttle Enterprise was the original test shuttle and never made it into space. It had returned from being exhibited around Europe and was sat at the Dryden Flight Research Facility at Edwards which is where I happened to be as part of the team that supported the first Spacelab mission on board Columbia.

I've left the hairy bits in around the edge that you always used to get with those Kodachrome card mounts.

Peter!

Can't tell you how much I love the Shuttle photo.

I'm hoping to go to Florida to see the last launch.

Another end of an era will soon come to pass.  :'(

This one is from 1987 and is on Kodachrome 25 Pro, I too have left in the 'hairy bits' on this un-retouched scan

Here's one from about 1994

Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall.  The grey grad isn't terribly subtle!

I imagine this was my old EOS 100.  Happy days

Ah! Grads. Those were the days. I found several examples in my collection. The tobacco grad was everyone's favourite back then and I was no exception. Looking at them now... well, I'd rather not look at them really. Guess it was the 80's version of HDR. Huuuuuugh!. Sorry, I've just been sick.

They also had emerald green grads... even worse.
The tobacco colored ones, you could at least pass them off as pollution, but green???

Just found this one from a trip to Klaksvík in the Faeroe Islands sometime way back when.
Taken on some sort of Minolta Slr I had and don't know where it went!

It doesn't have that rich Kodachrome look but it was already scanned--unlike the several thousand other Kodachromes in my archive--so here it is.  My best guess is that it was made with my Leica and a 50mm Summicron in 1990 (or so).

I just love the second one Skorj.

It just looks so 1950's California Modern.

When i heard that kodachrome was no longer produced, i bought a roll of kr64 a shot it last summer, so that i can say i used it before it went.

Virtually all of my slides / negs went "AWOL" when my ex and I split some years ago. I've had a hunt round and I'm amazed that I seem to have only shot one roll of Kodachrome in the last 8 years. Sorry Kodak but I've probably not helped your demise....

Here's 3 shots taken in our back garden in April 2003. Slight tweaks to dust and sharpen for the screen but little else. Not sure what film it is, though I suspect it's K64. If not K64, it's K200 as I haven't shot K25 since the early 80's.

here's my contribution.

From the hike last November through the Maple forest.

I still have one box coming from Dwaynes that I shot in Utah.  Can't wait to see those.
These were shot using my thrift store Nikon One Touch point and shoot.
I picked it up last summer for $2.99
