Beautiful ancient tree.
The stories living inside that tree.
Shows it off beautifully

Thanks for the comments, appreciated.

Kodachrome? Were there any other choices back then? I got in on the game in '96...

Ektachrome, but the colours were not so good because of the difference is process, not a lot better than the colour print film of the time.

I did do some Cibachrome (I think it was) reversal prints from Kodachrome slides, that process produced great colour saturation for the time but was mighty expensive.

This was on Kodachrome. I can't easily tell which flavor, whether Kodachrome 25 or Kodachrome 64. There were certainly other brands around at the time, especially Ektachrome as Lester mentioned, but also Fuji and Agfachrome.

Oh interesting. in 96 it seems like there was a lot of choices, still expensive, but they had the classic KodaChrome, and then Fugi Velvia hit the shelves = popular. Kodachrome just has it's own look. Never used eckta or others. It's crazy looking back/thinking about that whole process, the time/expense, and much longer learning curve!!

I mostly active with Kodachrome slide and BW neg around 79-88, once family started on the horizon I was mostly using col neg because family want prints. But yes the whole film market improved and colour print started to give good quality at high ISOs (or ASAs) like 400 or 800. Still a lot faster than K64, I did shoot some K25 but found it a bit too high contrast.

Interesting comment.
We used Ektachrome for same reason that Kodachrome colours weren't as natural. These were landscape uses, slides.
Maybe our light has something to do with it.
I know artists make comment on that compared to UK, for egs.

Kodachrome did give very "vibrant" yellows and greens I remember, Ektachrome was less saturated and a bit more to the blue, although I did not use it much.
