Panthera pardus orientalis (leopard)
 

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,
Andy

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?

After reading this http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...ad.php?t=54975 and am so glad I got this photo of a very rare and beautiful amur leopard.

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