Samos, Greece


This image is a composite of two pictures. The Samos landscape was taken handheld at dusk in July 1992 with Pentax ME Super camera (with winder ME II) and Pentax SMC-M f:4.5/80-200 mm zoom lens. The exposure on Fujichrome 100 film is unrecorded.

The moon is from my collection of moons - details elsewhere. These two images were copied together through a blue filter - also on Fujichrome - but unfortunately the resulting image contained lots of debris. I was frustrated and did not attempt to dupe it again. Then in the Winter 2000 I took a Photoshop course to which we we encouraged to bring our own pictures. I scanned the image with a Umax flat bed scanner (with proper adapter) - but the scan quality is not very good. Then I just cleaned the image with Photoshop and lightened it a bit. A lesson learned: Photoshop is not just for tricks, it can save an image as well.
