Thanks Tommy:-) This was shot with a Canon FTB & a 200mm Canon FD lens. The only other lens I had was the Canon 28mm FD lens. I sold the lenses because they wern't getting used sometime in the late 1970s & just used the 50mm 1.8 that came with the camera, I still have these. My photography tapered off to taking birthday & Xmas picys as we started to have kids in 1973 so after 30 years out of the hobby the digital photography came as quite a blessing as an easy pathway back into it. Plus the benefit of meeting some nice people here & a few prima donnas wiv signed picys:-)

Thanks for the explanation Rod. At first it looked more like Agfa back then instead of incredible Kodachrome II. Paul Simon was so right in singling out its nice bright colors. So what was the other equipment? A rare and difficult shot. The matador and bull form a connected unit like a signature with its graceful flourishes in spite of the violent action. Outstanding and memorable. -tv

Thanks mates:-) Yes Neo we had some lovely films back then:-) This was shot on Kadachrome 11 slide film only 25 asa I increased the saturation in PS for the topic as this film had very natural looking colours.
