[Leica] And to add to your day! :-)

Today an adventure into "what the heck try it!" ;-)

I had some major sized mounted B&W photographs to copy, unfortunately way 
too big for my flat bed scanner.

Normally I'd have done it with film, copy stand & tacked to the wall. A big 
pain in the butt! :-(

Today? Hey modern science to the rescue and swiftly. Sun was shining, so out 
the door, set print into deck chair, digital 20D and Leica 60 macro lens in 
hand, stopped down to f8.0, focus and be there.... click, click  KISS and it 
was done! :-)

Down load to computer, do Photoshop magic and print!!! Hey guys and gals 
this has got to be the way of the future! ;-)

It's truly wham bang, thank you M'am !.... Perfect prints in the blink of an 
eye no fuss, no muss! :-)

Just thought you might like to know and have this for the future if you have 
copies to do. Heck I didn't even need to mess with lighting, there it was 
the big shining globe in the sky! :-) Can't get any better than that!

Oh yeah one other thing. :-)

Yesterday a video crew were at my home shooting a final test segment for a 
TV programme on BRAVOTV. Yep about the old guy himself. Neat eh? ;-) The 
producers were confident this was an excellent test segment and the real 
time taping will probably be done in the next 6 weeks. :-)

When I hear it's a final and go to production with viewing time we'll let 
you know. Of course that is if yer interested. ;-)

Dang it's been a great couple of days! :-)
