Kodachrome, You give us those nice bright colors, You give us the greens of summers – Paul Simons

Whitby Harbour

You just have to love the iPhone Pano function.  However, now that I’ve got home and are able to start to examine some of the details and one thing struck me.   The ISO is really low – this one for example is only 40 ISO.  Now for a modern generation having such a low ISO is almost unheard of – however for those of us who have more miles on the clock than we would like to admit to this does bring to mind another very low ISO or should I say ASA film stock – Kodachrome 25 and 64.  Those were the days when we would send our slide films off to Box 101 Hemel Hempstead (according to the internet it was PO Box 66 or some other number so I may well have got the number wrong) and if you were lucky or good you would get back some real stonkers in a couple of weeks time.  Most of the time for me it was much more luck than skill!

The pano function is a real joy to use and it does produce some great looking images straight out of the camera.  Of course it does distort the perspective but I find that adds to the interest of the image – this image is almost 300 degrees of arc but it really does give the true feel to Whitby.  I really am a Pano addict and it looks like I’m not the only one.

 

Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
