He's coming to Manchester (England) to present a talk promoting his latest book. Is he a Leica user (I'm sure this must have been mentioned before)? Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Doug Nygren [SMTP:dnygr@cshore.com] Sent: 11 September 2000 12:45 To: Leica Users digest Subject: [Leica] Using Kodachrome 64 Over the weekend, I was talking with Steve McCurry, the National Geographic photographer who shoots a lot for them in India and points east. He said he shoots with Kodachrome 64 (ie. shot at 80) and underexposes by a third of a stop so that colors are more saturated. I do the opposite with color negative film, but I never play with ASA in transparency film. I'm going to have to experiment with this and see how it goes. Do any of you shoot your transparency film at slower ASA, do you slightly underexpose for color saturation? Doug Nygren
