Portal to a another PicasaWeb album of my Africa Pictures

Cheetah: Samburu

This has some possibilities. I used the "fill light" on the RAW to lessen the shadow while still leaving some...

Palladium Candidates: Flight at Lake Nakuru

This is promising: good contrast and tonal range. Though the bird itself is a bit overexposed. Could still be dramatic.

Palladium Candidates: Reflection at Lake Nakuru

The key question is how well the color images translate into Black and White images suitable for the Palladium Process. This is a good candidate, though a bit contrasty.

Camouflage, Lions
