[Leica] Africa 2009 photos

[benedenia at gmail.com (Marty Deveney)]

Thanks everyone.

The grain is partly because the film was x-rayed over 20 times
before and after it was exposed but before it was developed and sat at
over 40 C for protracted periods before and after being shot.  There
just wasn't any way around it.
This also meant that the films required more sharpening than I would
want to give it.  These are a mixture of scans of negs and prints; I
used an Epson 4870, also meaning that the neg scans required more
sharpening that the scans would get if they were from a machine that
scans negs better, like a Coolscan 5000.

I didn't shoot much colour at all, most of the time I just had my MP
and a 50 with me.  One of the hazards of shooting and working at the
same time.
