Hi Thomas,

Very good capturing of the flying kite!
However, both the scanned images are too bluish in color.
:P

Hi Forrest,

You are right. The bule is heavy for the sky because
Leica + RDP made that.
I have adjusted the balance for bule. It may cause
the white to change more yellow.

Thanks!
Thomas Chan.

Nice shots, Thomas! ;D
Well done with manual focus on action shot. Practice makes perfect ...

I'm always fond of the 'extra blue' only slide film could provide. Having said that, I think you almost got them right in this case in terms of color balance adjustments. Using any white area on the image as a reference would make life easy for you.

Keep up with your good work!

Hi KK,

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, it is still difficult to take full frame for my
stage. I need more practice to change my body
movement to higher speed.

Thanks!
Thomas Chan.
