Kodachrome

Afghan Girl - Steve McCurrt (1984)

Molto semplicisticamente, per parlare di Kodachrome, ho put the most famous photo taken with this formidable emulsion.


is the American photographer Steve McCurry and the photo was taken in 1984 in a refugee camp for Afghan Refugees in Pakistan.
E 'superfluous to comment on the richness of detail in this photo and especially the colors.



The red, with the advent of digital technology has become the nightmare of all color photography, Kodachrome for was easy as all the other colors.
I wrote "was" because we just developed the last roll of this fantastic film, now out of production with the advent of digital.
The digital analog that has cannibalized the market did not spare even the Kodachrome film, color reversal invented in 1935.
Steve McCurry has been entrusted to the last roll and this gallery you can see the latest images of seventy-five year history of color photography.

Even Simon & Garfunkel had dedicated a song titled just " Kodakchrome .
Where on one hand enhance the quality of the film: "They Those give us nice colors ... Makes you think all the world's a sunny day "maybe the other one foresaw that one day this film was no longer available" So mama do not take my Kodachrome away ".


Today digital sensors have resolution and sensitivity unthinkable, but blocked by the filter Bayer, never will return the colors of Kodachrome and how they should strive to emulate through software ... is the randomness magic against the accuracy of analog digital.

There is a regret of those who, perhaps, have been able to enjoy those colors but hazy by digital technology have not been spent on a roll.
