What a poignant tribute to the lost art of film photography and the even more fragile bonds of family…the film captured the ache of nostalgia and the power of reconciliation…a road trip not just across miles but through years of unresolved emotions, framed in warm,melancholic hues that mirror the dying Kodachrome format itself. Subtle yet deeply affecting..it reminds us that while time moves forward..some moments—like the best photographs—are timeless.
For awhile now I’ve been I’ve been thinking of dusting of my film cameras. And now, after watching Kodachrome, I’m on my way to my local camera store to buy a few rolls 35mm and or 120mm. On second thought, I think both now. 🙂
As a 10-year owner of the original FZ1000, I continue to be pleased with its capabilities and image quality — whether shooting in JPEG or RAW. To this day, I have not found a better bridge camera option that justifies an upgrade. The 1-inch sensor, zoom range and size/weight are a hard combo to beat. The only complaint is the connectivity option with smartphones — as it is incredibly clunky, but does work with some patience.
For what it’s worth, I will be taking the FZ1000 with me on my summer travels as my primary, and am confident that this camera will yield some terrific shots.
thanks for posting this! I am going to Italy for the first time in June and am trying to decide which camera to bring. We will be doing a lot moving around and I do not want to have to worry about bringing multiple lenses. I’ve always used Nikon and have just warmed up to my D3400 which has stellar image quality. But if I bring it, I will need to bring the zoom lens and my prime lens. But with the FZ1000, which I also have, it’s just so much more convenient. I’m still not sure which one I’ll bring, but your post definitely is making me consider the FZ1000 more seriously. I am a die hard Nikon guy,. but after finally figuring out my post process workflow after many years of search, I think I have a workflow which makes the camera irrelevant.
David Terao’s Dew Drops in a Poppy is exquisite. I’d like to know more about this image.
Tanya, thank you for continuing this project. I am always inspired by the images.
My basement is full of photographs. I usually had doubles printed and my husband would complain, “not another picture of flowers.” When I first started watching the movie Kodacrome, I asked myself who is that. Wow that is Ted Lasso! I loved Ted Lasso and I loved Kodacrome. The acting and the story warmed my heart. I am recommending it to all of my friends and family and I hope to watch it many more times.
I love the Member Spotlight feature. We learn stuff about them that would never come up in casual conversation. I am dying to ask some of them about things they’ve revealed here next time I see them. Keep it up!
Just watched KODACHROME. It is a riverting story and the anyone who has taken used a film camera will truly love it. I highly recommend a movie filled with drams, humor, sadness, love.
I LOVED THE MOVIE The history of kodachrome was fascinating to read . THE music was perfectly matched. After seeing this movie I did some research on the use of kodachrome .. Thank you for sharjng this. .
I just watched Kodachrome last night on Netflix and thought it wonderful. The acting was spectacular by Jason, Ed and Elizabeth Olsen. You don’t need to be a photographer to appreciate it. I am spreading the word so maybe it will be revived. Loved it.
Thanks David for your info
I have just ordered this Pluto device and i hope that it works with my setup
I do allot of bif photography with and without flash BUT without a motion sensor. (500px.com/phil-davson)
I would like to try capturing birds with this motion sensor using my iphone and pluto. (Maybe my hit rate will improve x 10 ?)
What i am confused about is how does the iphone pluto app communicate with my camera (canon R5) to take the shot ?
Is the remote iphone trigger fast enough to do this as small birds are extremely quick ?
I use Yonguno 600ex RTII with flash controller
Thanks
I support in person competition meetings as long as we can find judges who will attend in person. I think high quality masks should be required. Vaccination is more complex. I think everyone should be vaccinated (I’m scheduled for shot #5). But in terms of protecting others, its more important to require masking than vaccination. But if requiring vaccination would make people more comfortable, I favor it
I think in person competitions are important because
1. That will allow print competition
2. Even for projected digital, Zoom can significantly degrade the image quality. The image you see on Zoom may be quite different from the one submitted.
3. I think fully virtual clubs will, in the longer run, have a much harder time attracting new members and holding on to existing members. Virtual relationships work okay when there was already an existing in person relationship. They do not work very well when there was no existing relationship. Membership increased during the pandemic, but the club is now competing against in person activities.
As to those who want hybrid meetings: I understand. but a hybrid meeting is very hard to set up and run in any way that those watching on Zoom will like. It is possibleto have a single camera on a judge, but hearing what other people attending have to say, seeing prints and other things only work if there is a team of people at the meeting who essentially devote the entire meeting to producing a media experience for those not attending in person. The club currently has no one who has expressed interest in filling that role.
I agree with Karen that the speaker and (on line) competition programs currently work very well with Zoom. I would appreciate both mask and vaccination requirements for in person meetings.
I believe that the covid risks, at least for now, are acceptable if people are vaccinated. So my concern is not so much masking or not. Overall, I think hybrid is the way to go. I spend time in Florida during the winter so personal attendance is not really possible for me for many meetings. I would certainly like to be able to participate remotely as much as possible. The other factor is that it is so much easier to just log on and join a meeting rather than have to drive somewhere. That said, in-person attendance provides a big benefit and whether I can attend or not I think some meetings should be held in person. Perhaps the contests make the most sense to hold in person. In the case of speaker nights, having sessions via Zoom allows us to draw talent from a much wider geographic range. I don’t think we lose much by having speaker sessions be remote.
Vaccination is the key. Stop saying that vaccinated people can still catch Covid. While that’s true, the point is those odds become very remote. That’s the point. Also if your religion matters more than the safety of you and others, stay home.
I will attend only if masks and vaccination are required. Both requirements seem reasonable. I cannot understand why people who refuse vaccination should be entitled to place others at risk. Not only does their refusal seem unreasonable to me when others are at risk, but the refusal causes me concern as to their other practices regarding Covid (it doesn’t exist? “I’m so tired of all this that I’m goint to ignore it”? etc.)] I could consider an exception for verified religious refusals to vaccinate, but can’t see how that could be administered.
I also find Zoom meetings unappealing except for pure lectures (and not great even then), and hybrid meetings are difficult for everyone (I’ve seen few that seemed to work well).
I think the speaker and competition programs currently work very well with Zoom. However, I would be more likely to attend in-person Photo Forum meetings with a mask requirement.
I generally support masking and vaccination but I would come if only masks were required. Those unvaccinated people may be carriers but I also know that vaccinated people can become sick also, although they usually have less symptoms. That said I believe that the unvaccinated are taking a big risk to themselves but do not pose more risk to others than a vaccinated person does. I would enjoy meeting more of the club personalities and experts in person. If live meetings could be zoomed then wonderful but I bet that would take much attention to be very effective for remote viewers because the room is large and the presenter may not always be in camera view. .
Although it would be difficult to enforce the KN95 mask and vaccination requirements, I feel that both are necessary to ensure the safety of those attending meetings. In fact, I suggest that two boosters be required in addition to the vaccinations.
I am truly enjoying our virtual club meetings. Re meeting in-person: I’m not a fan of driving at night, the chairs in our setting(s) have been uncomfortable, and the acoustics have been so poor that’s it’s often difficult to hear what fellow club members, speakers and judges are saying.
Most of our speakers during the pandemic have been computer-savvy, and their presentations have typically worked seamlessly.
Competition photos have been more true-to-form on Zoom than the projected versions at in-person meetings; so I feel that it’s more of an even playing field when all photos are displayed in the same manner. Also, using only digital versions saves members the expense and hassle of having their photos printed and matted. The only downside I see to all-digital competitions is that when a photo’s size is limited to 1000Kb, a great deal of picture detail can be lost. A printed version can be highly customized re size.
As mentioned above — although I think the idea of hybrid meetings is great, I foresee many technical difficulties ensuing when actually putting it to practice.
I have actually enjoyed being part of the club via zoom. The speakers and the competition seem to work especially well. I’m not sure how often I would attend in person meetings.
Thanks for doing the survey.
I have enjoyed the meetings recently being all virtual. The in-person screen is hard for me to see being short and the colors are worse than on my computer too. The demos in Photo Forum are MUCH easier to follow virtually. In practice, demos in person only work one on one, due to crowding around the laptops being difficult. If demos are done on the big screen, I find it hard to see the icons even so.
Everyone transporting their individual prints to a local judge sounds like an imposition on the judge.
I am being rather cautious about COVID compared to other people (considering loosening up with rates dropping for now), so I am a bit ambivalent about in-person meetings. Vaccinated, boostered, and masked sounds good to me but it still depends.
More outdoor socials would be great to make up for the short shrift on socialising. We could in-person compare camera equipment.
I think a hybrid approach might work well. For competition nights, where we are mostly listening to the judge commenting on images, I think virtual works quite well. I think viewing the images on my monitor at home while listening to the commentary is actually preferred. For speakers, I like that when we go virtual we can bring in speakers from anywhere — not just local folks. That all said, I really miss meeting face to face. I think demonstrations and break out sessions are best done in person and face to face so that people can ask questions in real time. And if a speaker is local, we should definitely do that face to face. I think hybrid is something we should consider long term.
I agree with others that for now a hybrid approach is probably best while we wait to see how the pandemic progresses. The virtual presentations do indeed make it much easier for speakers. One hopes that sooner than later we will be able to get back together in person, but not everyone will be ready at the same time. For now, I would want everyone in masks and preferably everyone fully vaccinated. Regarding #2, I done very little in the way of prints and to date all my competition work has been digital.
When COVID risks go down, which may be a while, I’d be interested in in-person Photo Forum, with the option of bringing in a topic expert via Zoom. I think speaker nights have gone well online, for the most part, and I’m ambivalent about competition because I don’t enter prints, though I did enjoy seeing those that were entered. I do miss seeing everyone in person and look forward to the day that is possible, safely, again
I’d be willing to attend meetings with required masks. For me at least, I think this would be safe, after the current surge is over.
If we can get judges to come in person, I think the competition should be in person and have prints too. For speakers I think Zoom has a big advantage, in that we can get speakers from all over the country. For Photo Forum, there are advantages to both Zoom and in-person, so perhaps we could alternate from one month to the next?
On hybrid meetings there are a lot of technical challenges. It can work okay for a speaker, but it’s hard to do if you want to capture a group conversation. We would need good video camera(s) and microphone(s), and we would need to know if Northwood Presbyterian’s space has good Wifi.
I like your option to go HYBRID, and would prefer that. I would only go to in person meetings if I was 100% certain that the Covid is no longer a threat. But also, I think the Zoom meetings have worked really well – in a way even better than in person meetings. Through the Zoom meetings, one can see the images and hear the speakers/judges properly, and since I have an allergy to damp and dust I need no longer have those problems (in the past, at in person meetings at the church I used to have big problems with my allergy).
Thank you for fantastic presentations/programs, and for doing this survey, and take care.
Hi there everybody, here every person is sharing
these familiarity, therefore it’s nice to read this
blog, and I used to pay a visit this webpage every day.
Excellent article, Michael! You wrote about a political event without apparent side-taking. Even a Trumpista can appreciate it. And the other pics you selected were good choices too, effectively illustrating your points. Should be required reading in all schools and universities. 🤪
This is helpful. At another time can you give suggestions as to how to make the printed version equal the computer version of an image. I’ve noticed that my prints do not match the colors on my monitor.
I see you don’t monetize ssccphotography.org,
don’t waste your traffic, you can earn additional bucks every
month with new monetization method. This is the best adsense alternative for any type of website (they approve all sites),

Hello David,
This very technique is the reason that I finally gave up on B&W film. I used to carry around a set of red, orange, and yellow filters to enhance the sky and other things in my photos. This I learned this from reading Ansel Adams’s books, and it did give you some control over aspects of your pictures. A co-worker of mine showed me how to do this in Lightroom (Lr) and I started looking at digital cameras for the first time. The fine detail you can get with Light Room (Lr) changed everything. With Lr you can control all of the colors to any degree you wish. Marvelous!
I have never tried Silver Effects Pro or any other B&W specific pug-ins. I have never felt like I needed them but maybe I should give them a try.
Nice article. The images really tell the story. Just out of curiosity, do your 16″x20″ prints exhibit the same level of noise-tolerance as your projected images? That is, are you comfortable shooting at 6400 ISO if you’re planning to make prints?
Showing the different examples, with the settings, is very helpful to me to understand how to get the effects you’re showing. I really appreciate this kind of “hands on” guidance. Thank you.
Amish country! Head for Intercourse, PA, then drive randomly around the countryside on the back roads. You’ll never hit a dead end and you WILL encounter Amish images you absolutely have to capture. Horse buggies, girls on scooters, looong clothesline’s, covered bridges- Norman Rockwell stuff!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Thank you Diane, for telling us about Close Up Photographer….
I like suggestions from other photographers. It helps filter the quality.
Prefer ZOOM meeting for now
