An integral part of this 52 Projects Project is that I try to stick to the theme as best I can all week. For a week concentrating on using one style of photography, namely the Fujifilm Classic Chrome film emulation (based off of the classic Kodachrome film stock), I found myself at times surprised by the subtle differences between this look and the camera’s standard color and contrast leanings. At other times, I bemoaned my inability to try something more saturated (Velvia) or much, mush less (Acros). But I survived it.
And in the process, I came to appreciate the somewhat nostalgic, sometimes melodramatic rendering of this style. There was something slightly dreamy about the images, something even surreal.
Here are the rest of the images:
All in all, I became more a fan of the simulation than before the exercise. Still though, I’m happy to nudge the dial forward to the next Project.
Do you have a darkroom? Are you processing this film yourself?
