al_kaplan1 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 For all you good folks who are always complaining that I never post photos here on photo.net...James Mitchell just ran me through the procedure a few times, and I have this huge collection of vintage prints going back forty plus years. Tony Mafia, an internationally acclaimed artist, lived nearby in the late 1960's. He's now living in Brussels. This photo was shot in his home. His Danish wife Anna is in the background. I shot it with a Leica M4 and an 85mm f/2 Nikkor lens.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael s. Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Al - Very good. This was flatbed scanned from a print? You probably have a software way to get rid of the dust specks w/out going over each one and cloning it out. Recall Trevor's helpful suggestion to type the step-by-step scanning instructions while they're fresh in mind (bold face type, I'd recommend), then laminate the instruction sheet(s) and keep a set near at hand. Either that or handcuff James to your computer, keep him well fed and hydrated, and don't report him missing till you have this technique down pat. Trevor's approach would be cheaper.

gerald_widen Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Great, it is about time. The scan looks good. Probably as good as about 75% of what is posted here. I want to see more. You can place the photos in folders on your PN page so everyone can see then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_fun Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I like the portrait Al. Anna seems to be in a weird angle though; was that a shot into a mirror or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_ilomaki Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Al Nice to see all those neck-borne Leicas are not just trophys, and that you know whereof you speak. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Al, I hope you wrote down the steps. There will be no denying it tomorrow. Yeah, and I want to see Henrix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-j Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Congradulations Al. The picture is worth more than the dust. I can live with the dust if you can. I like the verbage describing the shot instead of No Words. Mark J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank granovski Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Al, that's an excellent B&W photo. Thanks for sharing. I too am still catching up on technology. Hopefully I'll have my new computer in 2 weeks so that I can connect a bit better and connect my scanner. My old P100 only has 40 megs of ram. :-(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtk Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 It's better than 95% of what gets posted here. Is that guy's real name Tony Mafia? I hate to think what Anna's real name might be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
