Thank you Ann. It's one of my favorites too because it's the kind of image that can't ever be re done. The weather conditions on the mountain that morning and me being there at just the right time were meant to be I guess. The location is 18 miles past Agness on Forest highway 23 which is also called Bear Camp Road. The elevation where the photo was taken is about 5000 feet. ...just in case anyone asks. ;)
I doubt if the little tree is still standing.

Thanks Paul. I used to think that scanning wouldn't need much more than dust removal. Now that I have a scanner, I find there is a lot more to it than that.

Thank you for enjoying the humor, Wolf. I'd suppose that some might take a quick glance and not notice what's going on in the image.

Thank you for the comments. When walking or hiking, I think we all look for shapes and patterns. This one caught my eye, and I'm glad I slowed a little to stop and photograph it. It's not far away. I should go there and see if I can still find the exact location again. I wonder how much it's changed in 25 years.
...yes, this is good >old< Kodachrome still holding it's colors.

Thank you stingRay. We ha a lot of monochrome days here in Oregon's coastal area. ie: fog and clouds.
The color is as it looks on the slide.

Thank you again, Mary. I always tended to shoot my images a tad too much on the dark side. With Kodachrome, the lights and darks were hard to control. I wished I had bracketed more on this one. I probably should have made it into more of a panoramic image, eliminating some of the top portion. It's a bit boring.
I appreciate comments and especially critique of what I show here.

Thank you for the comments. I never took many "people" photos, but I always got lucky whenever I took a photo of this kid. She's a sweetie pie and always has a smile on her face. On this day, I think I captured heaven in her expression. She was having a great morning. I probably should have made this a "project", as there are other similar images of her from this morning above the lake.

Haa haa.............. that was what I thought when I first viewed this image from the little gold Kodak box many years ago.. ;) Receiving and opening these small yellow Kodak boxes of slides each week was a real treat, and can in no way can that experience even slightly compare to the instant gratification in photography today.
Thank you Michele for taking time to comment.

Thank you StingRay part 3. How many versions of you are there? ;) You have been here longer than I have been here.
You said:
About: Back again and wondering how many old friends are here.
Well, I'm back and I'm glad the website is back too, and with a lot of familiar names. Prior to usefilm/imageopolis, I never had an outlet for my images.
Thank you for looking in and commenting on my photo.

The location was a local paper mill's settling pond. The mill is now gone, and the water isn't there anymore except during heavy winter rains. It's turned back to nature with lots of brush and grass and like many of my images, can't be duplicated anymore.
Too bad tho, because a mile westward looking into the photo is the Pacific ocean. This old mill pond was a nice place to see a sunset when the sky and clouds were just right. I got lucky a few times. Thank you for the comment, Ronen

It would be a bit bland without the colored fabric. What is the fabric doing there alongside the lake?
Very nice image, Bipradas.

Thank you Mary. Living near the coast or water has given a sunset lover like yourself a great opportunities. It has given me the same. Love your sun pillar image. I had seen one quite noteworthy on a "working" vacation at a nearby beach home a number of years ago.
I had gathered dinner for the night at a local store, and as I walked out to my truck, the pillar to the west was huge!
However, .............. and the beach house with my camera, was 8 to 10 minutes away.
..........had only I'd known, I would have stayed at the cabin, on the beach, with my camera, and starved to death having a once in a lifetime, fabulous sun pillar image. ;)
Story of my life............... I don't get no respect. haa haa! :)

Thank you all so much for the comments.
I try to keep true as to the colors from these old slides of mine when I convert them to digital. This slide actually has a little more blue and purple in the sky.
I don't want my images to be deceptive. I have a hard time deciding what is "honest" when presenting an image.
What are the rules? Are there any?
I used to think, "what you shot is what you got"
That said, I also realize that photography is an art form, but I prefer to be close to what I shot with the exception of the digital conversion cleanup and sharpening. Kodachrome was a hard media contrast wise, and I have discovered that during digital conversions, I can correct some of that.
Thank you again. I appreciate any feedback, positive or negative.

To us photographers, fences look so much better when they are falling down. Like everything old, they tell better stories.

It's old. I don't even own a decent digital. Most of what you see in my portfolio are digitized KR64 and sometimes KR25. Funds are low, so I can't go digital in the manner that I would prefer.
Since this website has come back on line, my new images will be done with a Canon 9950F photo scanner. My older images have that inherent blue cast from being digitized and they were done with a lower quality scan by a department store's photo lab. Those older images required a lot of fixing.
Now that I am in control with this "new to me" Canon scanner, plus that I have acquired a bit more skill in cleaning and color correcting my old slides, my photography has been given a new breath of fresh air............... hundreds of yellow boxes to go. :)
I miss Kodachrome in a huge way.
Thanks for the comment, Phillip

I will add on a more serious note. I can see some background distortion or blur helping out on occasion. I have stuck to the basics too much using levels, contrast and color controls to clean and modify my images. I learned something new today. Thanks.
