Oh yes! Kodachrome 64 ASA forever! I have my Dad's 35mm [mostly] Kodachrome slide collection. When he started it was ASA 10. You needed a bright day because unless you were wealthy your camera lens was small and thus not too great at gathering light. I know there are Kodachrome slides in there of Espee Daylights. One of these days I'll start going through them.

Hey Lew, do you remember the Kodak 620 camera with the fold out bellows?  I used to deliver news papers, age 12.  One my customers on my route gave me one as a tip.  It used a 8 picture gigantic roll of film.. a very low ASA.  But boy, it was a heck of a solid camera...  Wish I still had it'...

   

That was Dad's usual camera for many years (30s, before Kodachrome)! Then he bought a folding 35mm camera that had these weird film canisters. That was the camera he used for years of 35mm Kodachrome slide shooting. It became my first camera. I had to hand load film in reused cartridges because Kodak had long since dropped support for that product. That was OK because Dad was buying 35mm B&W film in bulk. You learned manual dexterity measuring, cutting and loading film in the dark. The old Kodak 620 camera became the core of his homemade enlarger. In later years he bought (used) a Beseler enlarger. 

Lew

lew, it sure was a different world.  Just about everything required some manual dexterity.  I think this is the reason us "Baby Boomers" appreciate things and have sentimental values.  Something I don't see much of in today's times from the younger elements....

When I turned 13, my Dad saw I was using the old Kodak , but not getting great results. So for my birthday he bought me an Agfa Gevaert 35 MM rangefinder  camera from Germany.  I loved that camera even though it was a low end, it was cool and took decent pictures.  I've loved photography ever since'... and now days have a different camera for every occasion'...

Hey Don, I haven't partaken, but from what I've heard, this looks like a train ride on LSD'...(LOL).....

                                       Oil paint illustration 

Here are two different effects I used from Photoshop.

1)   I added a simple spray to the UP weed sprayer.

2)   This effect is called color fade vertical and it looks to me like the train is coming out of the past into the present.

          " ALL ABOARD "...  the  "margetta ville  express"...

                                                         sounds like a fun train excursion  "QG  48"...

 Okay Brian, All aboard the squiggly express to margetta ville'.. Very cool' thanks for posting' your contributions'...

          think I was seeing things this morning after that train ride last night...

No smoke and only mirrors.  I use mirrors to allow added depth to parts of my layout. 

I enjoy taking photos at ground level allowing the photo to be viewed just as if one were standing there in person. 

          great shots Patrick
