60 Years Ago - February 1957

Welcome to February 1957. Let's start with a feature article on photographer Harry Callahan.

 

Let's look at dodging and burning-in.

 

Here is an article showing 115 combinations of films and developers.

 

Herb Keppler shows us how to use grain creatively.

 

Here is a comparison between Kodachrome, E2 Ektachrome, and Anscochrome.

 

Lloyd Varden writes about reciprocity law failure.

 

Here are this month's camera equipment ads.

Thanks for posting these, Marc. The reciprocity law article was interesting; I had often read about the influence of exposure time in color films, even within normal ranges. On B&W films I only knew of the problem at very long exposures.

 

Many well known friends in the manufacturers' ads.

At the risk of nearing the "daily participation limit" I'll comment: Great series of articles in this issue, Marc. The color transparency tests were interesting and were the beginning of color film comparisons that would last until digital became popular. I would imagine the film/developer combinations probable was clipped and pasted on many a darkroom wall in that day. Thanks for posting.

I am finding the new interface awkward, tho' I suspect I'll get used to it sooner or later.

In the meantime, absence of post does not mean absence of appreciation-- Thanks.
