Jeff:

FYI, while I'm a huge fan of the Kodachrome look, out of fairness I have to point out some of the Kodachrome/Ektachrome tradeoffs.

Kodachrome lasts pretty much forever in dark storage, but its pigments fade faster than the later Ektachrome formulations when projected a lot.

The Kodachrome process was immensely complicated and fussy, and involved some particularly toxic chemicals. E6 (the Ektachrome process) doesn't need the same complexity in processing machines and chemicals; indeed, suitably dedicated people can do it at home.

Some non-Kodak E6 films are/were quite good - Fuji Velvia, in particular, was anything but washed out. It's pretty much the most legendarily saturated film ever in regular use.

Hey! There are some ektachrome films on YouTube :-) cool

Avatar 5:26pm
Jeff:

And for those who want to compare film versus digital shooting technique, note that:

When shooting chromes ("slide film" to non-photographers), you have to be really careful not to overexpose - because overexposure results in clear film - no detail at all - in the parts which are past the maximum, and in undersaturated colors in mid-tones which are overexposed. Underexposure results in dense film with little detail. Basically, you just have to get exposures exactly right. Shooting chromes is technically demanding.

When shooting negative film, it's easier to get reasonably good results without being perfect. You basically just have to make sure there's enough exposure so the darkest stuff you care about has some detail, and things pretty much fall into place. Sure, if highlights are too badly overexposed they get blocked, but it's still much less demanding than getting chromes right.

Shooting digital? Shooting digital is most like shooting chrome film. Completely overexposed parts of digital images have no information - like the clear parts of chromes.

Digital is a little more forgiving than chrome film because of what you can adjust in post, and the range of useful after-exposure adjustments is far greater if you shoot raw - never shoot JPEGs in a digital camera - but still, the basic principle (don't overexpose!) is like shooting slides.

@Cecile that's what I do too:) I have almost 5 gigs of pictures on my iPod touch
