Dilemma. My pictures are too good.
Dilemma
My pictures are too good. I've got a digital camera that can shoot in rapid sequence. I'm using VR zoom lenses of high quality and autofocus instantly. I can now compose in the viewfinder, zoom to fill the frame and rip off 2,3, 10 images in seconds. Hard not to get a good well composed, well exposed, well framed image. That's the dilemma. I finally got the "ultimate" technique down pat thanks to the new technologies. I can't print that well cropped image because the proportions of the Digital image is 2:3 but I can't readily print it without being forced to crop and lose part of the image because Photo Paper is proportioned 4:5. Until recently because of the Camera/Lens limitations we tended to shoot and include much more of the subject knowing we would crop later. We had to because we simply couldn't compose accurately enough fast enough. Now that you can achieve in camera cropping with frequent success we are able to make use of all the pixels we see leading to a better sharper overall image. Now we need to make use of Photo Paper to match our image media which cries out for a 8 x 12 Photo Paper size. Epson or HP do not produce Photo Paper with 2:3 ratio yet (except for their 4x6 size). This will happen when customers ask for it. Believe it or not there are anti-8 x 12 Photo Paper posters out there too. |

Why not use a professional lab to do your printing photographically, then
the problem is solved. Gerald "Frank Arthur" wrote in message ... Dilemma My pictures are too good. I've got a digital camera that can shoot in rapid sequence.

Yes, if you print 8x10 you have to crop, just the way it is, but you can print at approx 7.4x 10.5 on 8.5x11 paper and it will give you a full frame, or use 11x17 paper for 8x12, yes a 10x14 sheet would be better but for some reason inkjets are locked into traditional paper printing sizes. Rita is opinionated, but there is generally some truth in her(?) posts. Tom |

You're becoming very boring on this issue. Go to a lab. They will print your photos on standard_ 8x12" paper. Or for that matter pretty much any size you desire. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |
