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.
