And the resolution and tonal subtlety must be seen to be believed/understood: it has a mescaline God's eye clarity and detail....but then that analog media has a resolution I estimate at *750* megapixels, something like 15 times my Canon. You can see it here:<br />http://imagovitae.org/ColoradoPoudreLandscapes.html<br />http://imagovitae.org/hudsonvalleylandscapes.html<br /><br />BTW, even Ektachrome is gone in this size, has been for a while. I'm shooting Fujichrome. Alas, when I can afford it, because 20 sheets costs $250, developing is $10 a sheet. And then...well, *nobody* does analog enlarging anymore, so then it has to be digitized before it can go *anywhere*. Digitization for an 8x10 chrome runs between $50-$200, depending on how finely you want it resolved. Then the prints.........<br /><br />But. I have had prints made of much of my work enlarged to 4 foot by 5 foot...and you know what? That's the same degree of enlargement as taking a 35mm slide and enlarging it to 8"x10"...hardly any enlargement at all. You can count the trees across the valley, see the water beading on grass stems, *feel* the texture of rock. Stewart Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830186006689502072noreply@blogger.com
