About [BragMode=ON]
I made a 13 by 19 inch print of my Amaryllis picture an entered it in the Syracuse University "On My Own Time" art show. My picture received the award in the Color Photography category.
{BragMode=OFF]

[SillyMode=ON]
I really took this shot with my 2 MPixel Sony U20 camera. I'd just like to say to all those people (no one from Usefilm) who claim you ~might~ be able to make and ~acceptable~ 4 by 6 print from a 2 MPixel camera (Quoting Dogbert)...

Neener Neener
{SillyMode=OFF]

The print turned out beautifully - I was amazed. That Canon i9900 is an amazing printer.

Congratulations! So, you printed that with a Canon i9900? I reckong that is large format. Eventually looking to buy a large format printer, just haven't studied up on that yet.

Your winner is a great photo, btw.

You're the man...congratulations Jim. You do have some fantastic fl orals and I'm truly surprises that you used such a camera. It gives me hope because my latest posts were done with a $150 camera (3.2 pixels). Now I got to print some of them and I will ask for your help when the time comes to print one.

wow, congrats Jim! You are so right about the large print. Most people think you need big megapixel to do large prints. It is probably the biggest misconception since digital photography.

Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30599} 4/30/2005
Fantastic Jim, on all counts. Kudos on the award AND on getting those results from 2MP. When I got my first digital camera (the Casio QV3000 3.2MP), and began asking questions about how large I'd be able to go, I was told, "You must have at least 300ppi" to get quality images, and the discerning eye can tell when the image degrades. My local lab was very snooty with me when I would go in and try to enlarge "substandard" images. Several years later I was hearing a different story: "You know, we've been finding that people can go much larger than we expected." What I have found is that it depends on different factors whether pixelation will become a problem, and of course clarity or graininess can become an issue as well. But we should not limit ourselves to "rules," and instead just try to keep the "rules of thumb" in mind so that we don't get bit when we try to go large and can't. That said...before I purchased my Nikon, I did work for hire (portraiture) with that Casio, and it was perhaps not the best solution but all I had and I learned so much with it. It is still my backup and you will see it employed throughout my portfolio. In my most popular image ("Youth"), I used both! Again, kudos to you, congrats, and neener neener to snobbery. :) Antonia
