Taken during my slide film with days Kodahrome 25. An amazing film and this was a photo that was pretty decent. Converted it from a slided. Input welcome!

Nice to see South Sister, Broken Top, and Mount Bachelor from my film days living in Bend. K25 was a great emulsion. Thanks for sharing the view.

Boy, that looks a LOT like a lake where I camped with my extended family during the wildfires last summer. I could have used some of that clear air then!

Thanks Doc, Kodachrome 25 was a really fun film. I heard a couple of years ago Kodak was thinking of bringing it back due to popular demand, but then they took it back once they figured out how much pollution it caused to develop that film.

I envy you! I had huge ambitions to buy a small cabin there one day and live happily ever after, surrounded by volcanoes. I thought maybe if one of them erupted, I would be in the perfect place to photograph the eruptions of one of them. But I got married and my wife hated Bend and we moved to Florida and months after we moved, Mt. Saint Helens erupted again.

South Sister was getting geologist concerns a few years ago, did you know that? Also, I was driving between South Sister and the town of Sister and I saw what i think was Big Foot cross the highway in front of me. I pulled over to take a photo, but it was long-gone before I could snap a photo. Really beautiful place with lots of potential to take magnificent photos. Thanks for the comments.

Super composition Bill. Love the ritch colors. The sky has some issues, it might be worth finding a way to make it nicer. Over all an excellent image.

A wonderful image, Bill! Makes one want to just sit there and gaze at the water and into the distant horizon and let the world pass on by.

Best regards, David

Hey Morris,
Thanks for the kind words. I might review the original slides as there are maybe a half-dozen that I took at the same time that are nearly identical. You're right, I have another photo taken down the road of this one where the sky was similar but with a lot more of what looks like pixelation. Except it's a Kodak ASA-25 fine-grain film. I'm not sure what kind of phenomenon you'd call this with the sky, except it seems to have something to do with more saturated, well lit colors such as the sky.

David - thanks, that's one of the best descriptions I've ever read! Now you have me sucked back into this scene.

Ross,
I loved Kodak's Kodachrome's, especially the 25, but the 64 always was a close second. The colors were always very pleasing and the lack of grain was amazing considering that even their 100 ASA film was moderately grainy. I had high-hopes that one day they'd bring it back, I have the last model of Canon Rebel film cameras waiting, but as it turns out, Kodak's processing for that line used a chemical that was just downright BAD for human-kind when they were done with the chemicals.
Thanks for commenting.

Dan,
I spent my 20's around Bend, Oregon and points north to Mt. Saint Helens. The problem was when I met my wife, she hated Bend so that ended my regular trips up there. I might meet her up around Seattle this summer when she flies back from visiting her parents in Florida, and if I do, I'm going to leave early so I can go back to my old haunts around the 3 sisters and points north, except this time I'll be armed with a Canon 5DSR and some fantastic lenses.

What I see in the sky is banding and pixilation. Did you scan as jpeg and then process? That could create this effect.

Hey Morris,
I took a photo of the slide (Slide is back-lit) using a 90mm Macro lens and a Canon 5DSR mounted on a tripod. The slide is also mounted so there is complete stillness. I meter and focus the photo. I'm not sure why I get the banding in the sky though. Could it be in the original slide? I don't think Kodachrome did this, but I was using an Olympus OM-2S camera with older OM lenses from the 80's and the glass wasn't all that great back then, not up to Canon or Nikon specs. It's also consistent w/other slides I've reproduced as well.
Check this slide out:

Anyone else have this experience w/reproducing Kodachrome or other slide films?
Thanks.

I've done conversions from negatives using a similar method and the results are clean with original film grain visible

My relationship to Oregon is different than yours. I'm a nearly lifelong Californian who has had relatives living in the Seattle area (and other parts of Washington) for a few decades. So Oregon has always been the place I flew over or drove through on the way to someplace else... with the exception of a bit of coastal exploration.

This past summer's week in this lake country was (except for the smoke!) a treat and the first time I've really paid attention to the area. It is a lot different from the more dramatic landscapes that I'm often attracted to in CA, but it is quite appealing. I'm also starting to understand that it is more diverse than I realized.

Dan,
Less different than you think. I'm a second-generation San Franciscan, which makes my son a third-generation San Franciscan. Both of us were born at UCSF, but 36 years apart. All of my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. also lived around the Bay Area. My mom was from Fort Worth (Texas), but she already had family here when she moved to escape her parents when she was 24. I only went to Texas twice when I was a kid. We used to go to Lassen Volcanic NP every summer for 2 weeks, which is what got me into photography (and volcanoes). My dad gave me his old 35mm Miranda when I was 12 because he got an Olympus OM-1 which later I got an Olympus OM-2S and all the lenses he collected, so the photos I took with Kodachrome 25 were taken with my Dad's lenses when he later upgraded to a Mamiya medium format.
When I went to SF State Univ. after high school, I majored in Geology because of my interest in volcanoes and then I discovered the volcanoes around Bend and central Oregon and it was a great place to check out volcanoes and photography. I also did the same around Mammoth Lakes, which is why I know the E. Sierras so well, and get up there every fall. But besides knowing my way around the E. Sierras for taking photos, I also took a couple of field volcanology classes up there as well. I'm still waiting for the day that something blows up there so I can get there via the backroads and get some killer eruption photos. So many of the volcanoes in the E. Sierras have erupted the last 500 years so it's reasonable to expect one of them to go in the next 50 years or less. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that when I say I've got California gold running through my veins, I really do. I even work for the State of California as an environmental scientist.
