Panthera pardus orientalis (leopard)

[tommykjensen]

I was just looking through my old paper photos and found one which I think is pretty good so I scanned it.

It is from 1998 and was shot with a EOS 300 or 500 fil body. I don't remember which lens but probably either a tokina 100-300 mm or tokina 100-400 mm.

And the cage has very small masks in the fence. So far I have not been able to get a really good shot of the leopard lately.

I like it very much!

It has a special 'flair' to it.

Best regards,

Prompted by the question about flatbed scanners for scanning negatives and slides I scanned this photo again, this time from the negative. I gave it the exact same post process as the first which was scanned from the paper photo. I scanned both in 600 DPI, resized for web, added frame and signature.

The scan of the negative looks dull to me, its missing a lot of the color the paperscan has. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Hopefully I will soon be able to photograph the cub(s) the leaopards got 3 months ago.
