Hi Dave,
Thank you very much for the appreciation!
A lot of the merit wrt the exposure goes to the film...
My scan is more contrasty than the original print (which was
defective, though: the lab had a problem with the digital
printing so that the RGB channels were slightly separated on
the print; I had to separate the channels, shift the red and
green ones a bit and then merge them again). The AGFA printer of
the lab applies a digital mask that opens up the shadows while
burning the lights a little. Sometimes it works, and the results
are wonderful; other times it does a bad job (luckily this is
not the case...)
Ciao,
Gianfranco
PS: the car is fine, now, but, when it begins acting like that
(second time in a year), it is maybe time to think about
purchasing a new one...
