The shot with the boy and dog was salvaged by (channel mixed) monochrome conversion from an underexposed transparency. That roll of film is a scanner's nightmare. The umbrella used turned out to produce quite discoloured light. I'm also unsure regarding the effectiveness of the dog being out of focus. I was trying for isolating the boy's face. On balance I think a more conventional shot would have been more satisfying. I also am pleased with the sailor's portrait, although technically, I know that it is not very sharp. I plead low light for the film loaded, moving boat, too much caffeine, hangover, anything else I can think of! Regards Hoppy ------------------------------ The boy with faithful dog has a wonderful retro feeling to it, even though I'm not sure if the dog should have been out of focus. The Hong Kong sailor is a good portrait, too. I love this kind of combination of soft direct light from one and reflected light from the other side.
