A little job I did for a Slide Presentation once again using Kodachrome 64. A "mature Model"s portfolio and entries to Modeling contests in Toronto 1990. I would like to tell you that it was hard work but.........The only thing hard was taking the lens cap off. How could you go wrong with a lovely model like her? No special lighting equipment; we were trespassing sort of in a Condo Building and had to speed things up. Used a cheap slide copier to transfer to Digital just for memories.

Short lived and replaced by Kodak with the Ektar 100 because I was the only one buying it apparently in 1991 there was an Ektar 25 & 1000 which I didn't use at all. The Ektar 125 was one of the finest films I ever printed from (Incl Kodachrome 64). I had my own darkroom at that time and could print up to 36" Colour and Black & White from negatives and slides. I only developed B&W film ; colour and slide film I farmed out. Those that have darkroom experience know that in focusing the enlarger you focused on the grain in the negative.Not with Ektar 125 the grain was so fine it was almost invisible to see and you had to focus on some detail in the negative instead. The silver halides were symetrical (round ) as well unlike other film which were random shaped silver halides.
The following Photos were scanned from prints on an old Lexar Pro900 so not best of quality but the point is that they originated from 15 - 25% coverage on the Ektar 125 negative and had to be heavily cropped. I had no problem with 24" X 36" prints from that film. Commercially we printed 4 ft X 8 ft panels on machines in Toronto.
The last picture was the bonus at that shooting. I was using K1000 300mm Lens + 2 X converter on a snugged down tripod. I picked them up way in the distance and then followed them in until I got enough in the frame ; never knowing what else I was getting in the frame. Notice that the wheels of both F18's are touching the wire and also the tail hooks. The wires are in the foreground and show up . I could not have got that shot if I tried a Bazziilion times

Thank you all for the thumbs up and I hope you got a kick out of one approach to telling a commercial story back before the Turn of the Century. The Total Slide Presentation was about 50+ Slides and Esso got the business $Millions over a few years. The Presentation was in Montreal at Great Lakes Paper's Head office.

A blast from the Past > Mid 1980's Commercial job to help Get $1 million worth of Lub business using a Slide Presentation Combo as follows:
Kodachrome 64 ; K1000's; various Lenses; Kenko square filter system with blanks ;3 finger multiple exposures; Filters for Florescent & Incandecant lighting
The first 4 photos are some examples of the multiple exposures (4 MAX too busy otherwise) that were interspersed through the presentation to produce Talking space
The next 2 are what we called Aerial shots that were taken off a pallet on a fully extended Fork Lift with me Shaking like a leaf taking these photos
The last Picture is the extent of Computer Photography and graffics in the 80's.
Kodachrome 64 was used for large Prints as well. We did 8ft by 4ft panels for Trade Shows Etc.
