Taking a break from HDR today to present one of my oldie favorites. Many, many, many years ago, this volcanic residue was streaming into the Pacific ocean off the coast of what we now call the island of Oahu in the state of Hawaii. And this photo was taken only many years ago while I was living there.
I’m not sure about camera or lens since I was using a variety of Nikon bodies and every Nikkor prime lens from 20mm to 135mm. Most zooms were still pretty soft back then.
My color slide film of choice was Kodachrome . . . with all those nice bright colors that make all the world a sunny day. (hmmm!) To get an idea of the magnitude of this dry magma flow, you can see a railing with cars parked in the upper right of the image.
Wow, great scene and the colors are pretty amazing!
Hi Jim. That’s the beauty of Kodachrome. But, those colors are pretty true to life. . .that’s the beauty of Hawaii.
Colors are great!
The pictures from film cameras have so much more character than digital cameras.
Take care and have a Nice Easter!
Thanks Gage. I always underexposed my slides by about 1 stop to get more saturation. Hope you have a great “Resurrection Day” as well!
A great scenery. My favourite film use to be Kodachrome, too. Now in the digital age it presents itself as a problem. It’s so hard to get a good scan of a Kodachrome compared to any other slide film.
Thanks Otto. I agree. I’ve had better results scanning Velvia and Provia slides than with my old Kodachromes.
