Y2K Hagenbeck Zoo - The Sleeping (Lioness) Beauty - mediocre shot (see details)


Hi again,

this was a difficult shot to make a decent scan of. It is the middle
crop of a bigger picture (the pics I post usually are but the fact is
important as to this picture) whereof only the part shown here was in
the shade and everything below was submergeded in sunlight. As a result,
the camera's exposure control was severely fooled, resulting in an
underexposition for the crop shown of an estimated 4 times. At an
underexposition like this, the film already starts to show "grain", just
as you can see in this example. A bad shot, technically, but I just
wanted you to have this face :-) For consolation, be assured that any
photo lab would have been overchallenged with making a print of a
negative like this. The scanner saved at least a bit of it, and if it is
not perfect, there's still a lot of sweetness in it :-)

So long -

Ralf
