[LRflex] Re: New Scans

Hi Eric
Thanks for viewing:

Fakirette was in the distance at the far end of the stage and the 
Angenieux did quite a good job in poor light - the flashlight was not 
set to maximum power (old thing about 20 years of age but still 
flashing) and the background and floor were dark , if this can help, 
that's the only trick - the stage lights helped a lot but I used the 
flash with a view to compensate for probable colour distortion. ASA/ISO 
must have been 200 and it was cheap supermarket Kodak negative film..

I like the "red tail"? too and I'm quite satisfied of having been able 
to shoot it so large on the slide - I had to wait for it for a good half 
hour, equipped with a Mac, and an umbrella set to the tripod under 
pouring rain (no pb with either hand then ;-)  and the drops kept 
falling on my head ... famous tune, ain't it?).  It was a funny bird, 
and probably a hungry and cold one too although it was early August, but 
1200m high in the Alps (3000ft and not 1000 as stated initially). I 
missed the snaps when it was picking at the red berries - focusing fast 
in not my forte. :-(

I still have marmots in store but I'm not pleased with the scans; the 
slides are ok though. I'll try harder soon.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
Yours
Phileicangenieux.
