Let's put the
large photo where it belongs - on the wall of course. Whether it's at an
exhibition, or in the home, the viewings distance is either sitting on
the
couch, or walking along a row of photos, likely at about 4 to 6 feet
from
the wall, or more if you're on the couch. While a good 20 by 30 print
made
from medium format or 4 by 5 will really shine, I don't think a lot of
people, especially beginners with their Rebels and kit lenses realize
the
potential of their camera, high speed film, and a good
printer................
Yes I agree. It pisses me off when I make a 8*10 print in my darkroom
(back room actually) of one of my favorite negs, and I put it up on the
wall the next day to show it off and people get right up to it, I mean
right on TOP of it and say "Wow!, it sure has alot of grain!). What did
you expect when you view it from 6 inches?????
