How Large Can You Print?

I had been talking to Joe Donovan whom I met on David Farkas' New England Trip about his large format Epson printer, a 9800. He offered to print one of my images on his printer as an example that I could use to show myself and clients what very large format fine art printing looks like from an S2. Earlier in this…[Read more]

If I had been able to sel the client onl the use of fine art paper on the triptych, I would have mounted it bare onto sheets of aluminum backing, or I would have had them laminated onto the back of plexiglas, given that the client did not want any frames or borders to break up the flow so to speak.

I apologize for the previous post– just noticed that you said canvas wrap.

What I really meant to ask, is IF you had used fine art paper (which I agree would
be nice), how would you have mounted the work such that a frame would not
“interrupt” the flow of the image?

thanks

Would you kindly share how you have mounted the images?
Thank you

Attached is the installation of the vertical triptych. 11 feet high.
Again, thanks David F. for the idea three years ago, and the trip from which it was taken two years ago.

I told the client we had enough resolution to print on fine art paper, but the client preferred the look of canvas wrap to match other artwork in the area.…[Read more]

Hi Mark, you could try the Leica store Berlin:

Do you still have the adapter for sale. Thanks Martin

At ISO 80, the D-LUX 6 has plenty of resolution. Nice photo, Dale!

Read an account by a guy on safari in Africa who rigged up solar cells on his backpack that would charge spare batteries during the day. He was pretty popular with other members of the group… 🙂

It is not so easy to take pictures while going backwards on a carousel at full speed.

Jack guessed right…two hot lights, one up very high camera behind and to the right of the model, backlighting the water, one at about 8′ high, left and behind camera and a strobe as main, metered for f/8. The water is from a garden hose held by an assistant on a ladder camera left…pointed up towards the ceiling. It's kind of a production to…[Read more]

My guess is three lights as I see a highlight on her hair.

Most of the shots from this shoot were taken with the 70mm CS lens but these were with the 120mm CS. I've read some comments in other posts about this lens not being well suited for portraiture…but it's one of my favorites.

Then, set both of the dials on top of the camera to “A” (or in my case I usually have the speed to A and the f to 8 or 11). Then press and hold the Delete/Focus button until the small box in the center (or…

I really like the G-Star Raw – the extras like the wrist strap and carry case I really use, and they account for a lot of that difference.

people think it's the same as the LX7 but there are subtle differences. At least in jpg-files.

Nevertheless, I use the D-Lux 6 very often and for most family oriented photos it is a lovely camera, also for some other stuff like quick macros for selling something etc.

For me, pressing D/F, before or after focusing, works fine, without any blanking of the EVF or LCD display (whichever is in use).

I have S/N 4707874,…

Having tried your D-Lux 6 I agree with you that it is a very nice handling camera.
Thanks for letting me try it.

Any time!
