Ansco- Color Film: At first the processing required complex machinery and precise control and, consequently, was done exclusively by the manufacturer. To answer the demand for a film the photographer could process himself, Ansco brought out in 1942 its Ansco- color filmColor film, which was followed by Kodak's Ektachrome film; in both of these dye-couplers were incorporated into the separate emulsions.
There is no monotony in rural subjects, either, and you may use anything from a view Camera to 35mm equipment to photograph people, farming methods, buildings, machinery, livestock and landscapes. Stick to the modern—not "tobacco roads."$4.00—less whatever professional discount you can wangle. Prints at these prices, mind you, are not the finest possible. A really fine print will cost about ten times the above amounts, or perhaps even more.
If you haven't 35mm equipment, you might work with Kodacolor, a negative-color film which is available in nearly all the roll-film sizes. Kodacolor film is relatively expensive—it costs nearly $2 a roll—but it has a greater film speed than the transparency color films, more latitude in exposure, and the prints which can be ordered are cheaper. A 3 x 5 color print from Kodacolor costs 32 cents, 5 x 7 is $1.50 and 8 x 10 is $3.50. Prints are made only by Eastman Kodak Co., ordered through your photo supply dealer, and the quality has been greatly improved in recent years.
The final finish may be of a type that gives a surface film, such as French polish, varnish, or polyurethane. The latter two are available in gloss, satin, and matte finishes. Varnish stains are also available. These are convenient, since they will color and finish the wood in a single operation.
Do bear in mind that each extra coat of varnish stain will darken the color of the wood and, unless brushed out very evenly, the color will vary with the thickness of the film. When wood is stained with a penetrating dye, the color will not vary - no matter how many coats of clear finish you later apply. |
