Pentax Q 06 100% crop, getting a handle on stuff and a vintage Indigo Girls video.

JPEG SOOC. A properly processed raw will naturally provide better results even for relatively large prints.

 

The largest print I've had made from the Q was 16x20. Kinda' crazy, right? Not so crazy in the end. For one thing I didn't pay for the printing. I also turned the raw over to someone far and away better than I at processing raw files for print with a final result much, much better than I expected considering the file source. If I can find the file I'll post it.... Well maybe not. The image includes the interior of someones home so I'll have to ask first. So.... For now I'm clueless about the location of the file. I'm pretty sloppy with storage/backup.

 

After seeing a more than good enough 16x20 from a Q I've lost interest in upgrading my Q kit. There is no question that I should be upgrading my post processing skills. Pre-processing skill as well. :-}

 

One other thing I learned from the guy who did all the post is that larger number of successful working pros aren't using bleeding edge gear. They're using good gear for sure, but not what many outside the profession may assume. It seems to me that enthusiasts may very well upgrade gear more often than working pros.

 

Enough of this.... I've got few things I need to get a handle on before the day is over.
