[Leica] scanning fever

[Nathan Wajsman]

It is a beautiful scene, but the sky looks too blown out on my end.

Cheers,
Nathan

It is Manly Beacon in Death Valley, looking west to the Panamints, and should make a  nice 16x24" print as cropped.  East behind is Zabriskie Point.  For this one and others, I have been using deconvolution software (Topaz Infocus preferably, or Focus Magic) for pre-sharpening instead of the unsharp mask pre-sharpening variants.  The deconvolution software seems to do a better pre-sharpening job, though it is subtle.  Comments always appreciated.
