A couple of weeks back, I made these views of Belmond\u2019s Grand Hibernian<\/em> luxury cruise train at Islandbridge Junction in Dublin.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a Kodachrome sky? The old Kodak Kodachrome had the ability to capture a sunny day with vivid contrast; so when you had over-the-shoulder light with fluffy clouds dotting a blue sky we called it a \u2018Kodachrome Sky\u2019.<\/p>\n

It think it\u2019s safe to say that no one has ever photographed the Grand Hibernian<\/em> on Kodachrome slide film! And if they have, they will never see their results in vivid colour. (Kodachrome is no longer commercially processed).<\/p>\n

I wonder how Belmond\u2019s navy-blue train would have appeared on Kodachrome? The film\u2019s spectral sensitivity tended to render blues with less saturated colour than appeared to the human eye. Yet this was also one of the reasons why a ‘Kodachrome sky’ appeared so vivid on the classic slide film.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
