Okay, another calendar Kodachrome, again tight crop, with a Mallorcan setting which you can't see in the crop.
In contrast with many other people, I have found that using Kodachrome 64 Pro as a source for later b/w conversions works well. I'm not sure that I'd have been totally willing to have used it
intentionally as a starting point for b/w work, but nonetheless it has provided me with some material I like.
I've tried models with the original 135 Velvia 50, which everyone said was hopeless for skin, but I had to make my own mistake because, living here on the island, I could get E6 done easily enough but Kodachrome had to go to Lausanne (Madrid was terrible IMO) and that meant weeks... Anyway, vox pop was right, and it was too amberish (reminded me of Kodachrome through a warming filter which I tried on the odd overcast day and hated: it didn't look natural at all).
Making b/whites from Velvia worked, but the contrast was a bit too high for my taste.
