Prev: Cut police budget? No way! There are still LOTS of white, middle-aged photographers to arrest
Next: If I'd only had a dSLR! (Was: Will phase focusing go the way of the dinosaur?)

(Note total lack of shadows.) Using a close-up filter fashioned from a single-element plastic "achromat" salvaged from an old 126-Instamatic. With careful upsampling and applying a Fourier transform at each stage this can be successfully printed to 18"x13" from a 2.1 megapixel camera. This is the downsized (and intentionally jpg degraded) image from the 3300x2475 upsampled version used for that very purpose.

Oh boy. I've printed 3 megapixels at 13x19 - it can be passable flipping through quickly if the content is good.

Oh >boy. I've printed 3 megapixels at 13x19 - it can be passable flipping >through quickly if the content is good. I liked the Fourier transform bit. LOL! Even with Genuine Fractals, I'd say 13x18 from 2.1 MP would be no better than "acceptable" at normal viewing distance. -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups."
