UJC #18: We Project a Winner!

Who doesn't love vacation photography, especially when you go "old school" like the Shutter Brothers, Kelley and Kevin Lane. Kelley talks about his success with Kodak's new Ektachrome E100 Super 8 movie film, which was a lot of fun to do and even more fun to watch, especially when projected on a screen. Watching his movie is like going back in time - except that it happened just a month ago. The film and processing/scanning are a bit on the expensive side, but the experience is totally cool!

Kelley shot his movies on his Argus/Cosina 708 Super 8 movie camera using Kodak's new Ektachrome E100 super 8 film. After shooting the three-minute roll, Kelley sent his film to the Film Photography Store to have it developed and scanned. Three weeks later, his developed reel of movie arrived along with a video file of the scan. While it certainly can be projected on a screen using a super 8 movie projector, the scans make it possible to post movies online. Keep watching this blog, as Kelley will post an edited version of his vacation movie to our new Uncle Jonesy's Cameras YouTube channel very soon.

Meanwhile, Kevin talks about the fun he has been having shooting slide film on vacation and the even more fun he has been having developing, mounting, and projecting the slides, thanks to a workflow tip from fellow podcaster Andre Domingues of the Negative Positives Film Photography Podcast. With a slide mounter, a supply of empty slide mounts, and a working slide projector, you can make vacation slide shows come alive on the big screen.

The Shutter Bros wrap the show up with a great listener letter and a question about shooting in areas of high humidity.
