Dump it!!!!!! Why? Well when you "have to work" to find an image fit to print, 99.9999% of the time there isn't anything there to start with. It's the same as looking for pictures and all you are doing is knocking yourself out recording nada for any number reasons. Usually nothing hits you between the eyes as in.... "WOW! Look at that! Click" Good one in the can. Looking at this frame there isn't anything there simply because that's what happens sometimes. You didn't hold the camera straight to start off with tilting the background, the guy walking by is just walking by with nothing of interest or anything about why he's in the frame. Almost like he walked into your frame as you tripped the shutter. Right? And I'd bet a shilling that's exactly what happened. Save yourself a lot of time fussing and fiddling trying to make a silk purse, out of road kill!. ;-) Dump it! Chalk it up to , "Oh well one of those exposures that didn't work." And move on finding something better. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
