Not a particularly great shot, but I really liked the way the pinhole cap on the Leica body captured the modern style of this building complex, the Intelsat headquarters in Washington, DC, near where I live. The only technical detail I can think of that would be of any interest is my camera position -- about ten feet off the ground, mounted on a tripod in the back of my Jeep. This was scanned at 4000 dpi, but that creates too big a file for disply on the web, obviously. The original conveys a greater sense of even focus, whereas the reduced jpeg seems, well, just sort of blurry. I'll be tinkering with color for a month or so, but intend the scanner mainly or exclusively for BW negatives I develop myself, but which I won't be able to print digitally until the piezography people come out with an aftermarket kit for the Epson 1280, which they say they will make available sometime in September. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=145719 G.
