kodachrome was my favorite film to shoot. it always made even average pictures feel like NatGeo. just the right about of saturation, of fade, of crispness. the color balance was very unique.

that show of Nürburgring is great :)

I shot some right before it was discontinued. I think its useful to note that scans of Kodachrome are not Kodachrome. To really appreciate it, I think one needs to see it illuminated in a light table or from a projector. Because of the thickness of the emulsion scanning it is somewhat problematic.

Even scanned they do have a very distinctive quality. Subtle yet large dynamic range, the hues, the contrast. Beautiful to watch.
