If I want to blow up an image to 8×10, 11×14, or larger, I don’t want to have the image become too pixellated. Obviously, this isn’t a concern with film, but with digital it may be. How well do digital images enlarge?

I do enjoy shooting in black & white, though perhaps a digital colour image stripped to grayscale would work. I’ve not tried it.

i use the channel mixer to switch to b/w from color – you have more control over the tones that way. if you just change the color space to b/w your image generally comes out looking flat.

an image that i converted using the channel mixer – it’s just snapshots, but i think it came out pretty well.

and just about everything on that site and my other were shot digitally.

i print from my 20D up to 20×30 (i think, i don’t remember the final size of the big ones for sure – damn big, i know that) and they look pretty damn good (from a 24 mb orig. file). you have to up the file size in stages, not just jump from the orig. to 20×30 at 300 dpi. i increase 10% at a time and it seems to work out pretty well.

whatever you decide – enjoy!!! SLR’s are so fun!!!

I love film, i love the darkroom, i love printing, i love grain, i love crystal clear slides….i pretty much love everything to do with film.

that said, i haven’t touched my film body since i got my 20d. digital is just so easy and convenient. you never have to worry about running out of film in the middle of a shoot/sequence/event, you can edit on-site if you need to, everything you shoot in color can easily be converted to b/w….

i DO miss some of the experimental aspects of film – doing polaroid lifts and such from slides, non-silver printing, etc etc.

but digital is just so dang immediate.

i don’t know if any of this helps, just my $.02

hahaha, and the headline is correct this time!

[monkeybort]

fine, fine, just fine, thanks!

if i hadn’t refreshed before posting, we absolutely would have had competing threads.

I’d convinced myself you were going to be late or something or other this week. My apologies. The little voice in the head was right again – I knew I should have asked!

oh no, not at all!!! don’t even worry about it. 😀
