[Leica] My Zone System Days

[lluisripollphotography]

Hi Gerry,

Yes! after that exercises I went to the LIFE!

As you know the rendition is quite different from a wet print than a scanned one, I have in front of my eyes the original print and it is much more rich, I’ve do very few adjustments with LR on the scanned one, probably I shall invest more time… and even so when printed will be still different from the darkroom copy! 

Thanks you very much for your opinion and comment

Cheers
Lluis
