At Lac Kir in Dijon (yes, that's where they got the name of the mustard!). I was lucky to have a pretty young girl to complement the photo. Taken on Ektachrome slide film, which I just scanned only 5 years ago. Ektachrome was the only color film I used at that time which kept 90% of its color for the past 40 years. Why Ektachrome, because I could process it myself in a home darkroom.

Ektachrome was great film. But you had a darkroom, which I never did. I used to go to a workshop that did a time-share for photographers. Great work on this shot! Her expression is sweet!

I think a lot of these 80's and 90's color shots I wouldn't have taken if I couldn't have processed Ektachrome myself. It was very nitpicky on time and temperature however. It also didn't react well to dirt in the chemicals and wash water. (You see - I really did my own darkroom work!)

I don't think I do. In those days, my only color that came out good was on Ektachrome slides. Color negative film was crap at that time. Any color work on did on negatives has turned out AWFUL by now.

well whatever, this pic turned out great and you did a great job of taking this pic and on top of that it was like she wanted you to take the picture.
