Nostalgia & History > SP 6329 east at Colfax 1959Date: 05/22/20 11:43 SP 6329 east at Colfax 1959 Author: photobob This was my first time taking a photo of grabbing orders. My Dad took me up to Colfax with my new Argus C-Twenty. The fastest shutter speed was 1/200. The only light meter I had was the inside of the Kodachrome 10 box giving you a graph showing Bright Sun, Cloudy Sun, Overcast or forget it. I think this was somewhere in the forget it region for exposure. Anyway I can't go back to Colfax and repeat this scene with a camera that uses no film and goes up to ISO 32,000. I wonder if todays pixels will last 60 years like this 60 year old Kodachrome?

Nice shot of a better era BTW. Thanks for sharing.
