[Leica] Work During Confinement

[Ken Carney]

With movement being so limited during the Covid mess, I've been going 
back through old negatives.  I've been picking up the pace on scanning, 
thanks to Chris Crawford's tutorial on scanning b&w negs, and trying to 
improve my Photoshop technique.

Here is an image of a dune in Death Valley.  I shot it with a 210mm 
Rodenstock lens, but never printed it because the shutter blade outline 
is very visible, not sure why.  A little work with the healing brush 
fixed that.  Then I added a sky from my front yard.  4x5 TMax 100 in 
TMax RS developer:

In this image of Manly Beacon in Death Valley, the top third of the 
negative is uneven and smudged, maybe a mistake in developing.  It is a 
clear sky except for the setting moon and clouds over the Panamints, so 
I took an image of a clear sky, used that in sky replacement and brushed 
only the damaged part of the sky.  I had never been able to fix it with 
the clone brush.
