Another recipe for your headtop. Sticking with the Kodak theme from Part 1, (I'll switch it up next time.) we get into "Ektachrome", which is still being updated & released to this day.

Some words on the name, history & what "100SW" is, via FujiXWeekly:

Ektachrome was a line of colour transparency (slide) films made by Kodak that used the E-6 development process. Some people preferred it to Kodachrome because of the faster ISO (100 vs 64 or 25), more saturated colours and easier development (although Kodachrome had finer grain, a larger dynamic range and didn’t fade as easily). A lot of National Geographic photographs were shot on Ektachrome back in the day.

There were a number of varieties of Ektachrome produced over the years, and I’ve used five of them myself. My favourite was Ektachrome 100VS (VS = “very saturated”), which was Kodak’s attempt at Fujifilm Velvia. Occasionally I used Ektachrome 100SW (SW = “saturated warm”), which was introduced in 1996 and produced vivid photographs with a warm colour balance. Kodak stopped production of Ektachrome 100SW in 2002 and all Ektachrome film in 2012.

So let’s jump into a couple of sets. First, some general heat, including a real nice butterfly I managed to get close to:

And then I got lazy, so here’s the dog slowly coming at me:

With that said, I don’t think I’ll be keeping this recipe. The recipe is too close to base Velvia for my taste and there’s plenty of recipes out there that make more of an effort; but it’s still fun to learn about the history nevertheless.
