I had Leica and Canon items with me, and used 21 to 200mm focal lengths. After scanning, I straightened the buildings :-). I can't stand to see them keystoning. Since I used to do everything I could before Photoshop came along to straighten them, such as tilting the film stage & easel in printing, I do the same now digitally. These web images aren't fixed fully, as I didn't spend too much time on them. The correction isn't quite good enough for print purposes, and I would also fix some of the geometric distortion caused by one of the Canon zooms I used. It would have been nice to be able to take some of these with a 4x5, but I didn't have that with me or ready, and the Leica/Canon stuff was in the trunk. Also, the light was changing rapidly, and I was running in and out of traffic. Not easy with a 4x5. In the early 70's when moved to Vancouver we had a lot more foggy days, due to higher levels of particulates, but now we're lucky to get 3 or 4 days a year. Today is foggy again, but it looks a lot different, and I doubt I'll be able to take pictures like yesterday. And, there's other stuff I have to do. - -- * Henning J.
