My family too during my growing up years. We had good friends we’d all share our Canyonlands, Lake Powell, and southwestern Colorado vacations with all the time. It was a great experience.

I used Kodachrome exclusively for as long as I could get it, first in 120 rolls, later in 35mm as that was all that was left. Mine was among the final batches processed by Duane's the year after Kodak discontinued it completely. My guess is that beyond the cost and issues around the chemistry required, Velvia had a large part in killing it off, I know I went in that direction for a few years and found it superior for grey, rainy, or green landscapes, while Kodak was better at natural colors, people, and drier terrain.

It was sad to see it go, I'd still be shooting it today if it were still available.

Really like the 'Ladybower Reservoir' image. Totally draws me into the scene. Well done!

hm..to me your shot - guess made almost at the same spot and time - posted in https://www.largeformatphotography.i...=1#post1535567
has more natural colors and seems to me better exposed...

That is how quickly the light changes at the Canyon. I can take 5 shots within 10 minutes and each one will be different. I was also pointed about 45 degrees to the right from the previous shot.

The crested saguaro is a rare "fellow being" of the Sonoran Desert. A Garnegiea Gigantea unicorn if you will. Having lived in Arizona all my life, this is the first crested saguaro I've seen in person. It was a special treat to photograph.

Jeff,

After 20 years of strolling around our Arizona deserts, I've never seen one of these beauties! Thanks for posting...and, nice pic!!

[Steven Ruttenberg]

Very nice. Lived there most of my life, can't remember seeing one.

Excellent. It looks like (almost) like a PS creation....really unusual.
