    Photos from Scotland
    The load on my Gallery server was getting too high, so I've moved things to PhotoBucket.

    Caerlaverock Castle

    These images haven't been altered in any way - no Photoshop, no contrast editing, nothing.

    Hardly. I'm back in the US - he's got fairly unlimited access to the subject matter.

    That first one is a stunner... It needs to be blown up to poster sized and hung prominently in your household!

    11" x 17" is the largest I'd try to take that one - any bigger, and I'd be resampling.

    Those were all taken with a Canon PowerShot A70.

    There are a lot more on my PhotoBucket albums now.

    Any file starting with IMG was the PowerShot, and the others were taken with a Nikon FM10 on film, developed to PhotoCD.

    Don't know if your a photoshop user or not, but there are plugins that can take that thing as large as you want it. There is also a photo processor that I use that uses genuine fractals and get's real nice enlargments.

    Oh, I'm aware of those. There's an unavoidable decrease in the quality of the image as you scale it larger than the original resolution.

    Resampling is OK if you absolute have to use it, I just don't like the results much.

    I'm hoping to go back some day and recreate the picture using a 10MP camera instead of a little point-and-shoot.

    Yep, makes sense.... I am still tooling around with a 10D. Someday, oh someday, I would like to get a 1Ds.
