[Leica] beach shots

[scleroplex at gmail.com (scleroplex)]

ah.
i get it now.
yes, i think i brightened it a bit in apple preview but that's about it.
the pinkish cast was not there in reality and i know not if that is the film
or the processing or the scanning.
the rest of the colours are realistic however.

i expect honest comments and always appreciate them.
i know you are not being insulting
and in any case people really have to go out of the way for me to get
offended.
your experience and expertise in photography is way above mine.

Not trying to be insulting but a lot can happen in translation between the
shutter going off and it gets on line so if you were saying you didn't have
any translation software yet then what ever it looks like would be partly
due to how it "comes out" as we used to say.

But Ansel would say your pix done "come out" or "turn out"
But you make them.

Now that things are digital that seems particularly the case.
Though some people have no software at all to lighten or darken the scans
they "get back" from whoever makes them. Not the drugstore. Although
Walgreens is a drugstore..
