Awesome photograph; definitely going to replace my current photograph.

Wah? How did they manage that?

Kodachrome has been around since the 30s. Someone probably just scanned it at a ridiculously high DPI rating

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away



When I worked in a camera shop I had customers bring in 1950s quarter plate/rollfilm Kodachromes that looked as bright as they day they were processed. The cameras weren't up to much, but Kodachrome just doesn't seem to fade unless you project it a lot. My only regret is that I'm too young to have got my hands on rollfilm Kodachrome, and that I only managed to shoot one roll of K25 before they discontinued it.

Still, I've got Velvia, so it could be worse. Which reminds me that it's far too long since I tore the sticky paper off a roll of 120.....

Has anyone got the picture of that street from a perspective of today, it would be interesting to compare the two.

Yes, it is on the wiki page (just scroll down from the link I gave you )
