[Leica] IMG: KC Corners

[Philippe]

I sometimes add corners to my digital files in LR. I also usually frame these in black borders. 
It depends on the effect I feel the need to achieve.

Now, come to think of it, shoot an RF and the neg will NOT contain all you saw through the window, in spite of the frame lines. 
On the contrary, shoot a reflex and you may get an average 5% more on the neg...

Project a slide, and the cardboard will also block some of the neg. So may the mask and slide holder of the Pradovit.
Print with an enlarger, and you may also not get 100% of the neg for the latter reason above.

Since LF is rarely owned or used in the digital age, we still have the option of resorting to live view : 100% inside, I-phonewise. And print 100%. 

Yet, who cares?

All of this to say there is no truth but in the eyes of the viewer.

IMHO as a viewer, your corners are much less of a distractor than the (unfortunately) faded colours.

Keep them coming in any case Tina. Love them all.


Over to you Mark, my favourite NYC vegan dogs eater ;-)
