For Your Amusement

The top image (less sky) was shot with a Leica M6 and Summicron-M f/2 50mm lens of about 1996.  The bottom image (more sky) was shot with a Pentax K-1000 and an SMC Pentax 50mm lens of about 1982.  Both images were made on the same roll of film (moved from one camera body to the other).  Both scanned with a Nikon film scanner using the same settings. Both are magnified to 100% (actual pixels) Results are quite similar methinks.  I am sure there are about 1,000,000 caveats and such to mutter about.    Still, to me it looks like "It ain't the meat its the motion" when it comes to photographic equipment.

Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River about five miles below the Glen Canyon Dam. It's a mile walk from the parking lot. The weather was mostly overcast with embedded rain showers all over Arizona, but about noon there was a break in the overcast with some short periods of sunshine.

Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ

I took the photographers' tour of Lower Antelope Canyon on Sept. 7. I arrived just before midday when the light is best, coming straight down between the sandstone walls of the canyon. This is a 5 exposure HDR.
