Be sure to use vertical paper...............


Absolutely....

Make sure you don't buy 11 x 8½, if you need 8½x 11.
May not be able to return it. :ya:ya

Interesting. Without experience, one cannot tell if good judgement was exercised. However, if one practises good judgement from the beginning, is one ever going to gain experience? Then again isn't judgement clouded by the practises of the norm even if the norm was bad judgement? What is judgement anyways? Just an opinion in reality. Geee... Roy, I can't sleep now!

Maybe the OP wants to print panoramas ?

@Roy Sletcher 's pick could still make a very small vertical panorama of a very tall tree, a waterfall, or a sky scraper, or a very thin slice of " Big Sky Country" easily fixed. And if the OP wanted a professional look he could mount it slapnbang in the middle of some thick, white masionite and fill a wall, even paint the edges black an save on framing........

Might even sell a few to long sighted tourists that have never seen a professional print hung on a wall.

I reckon this post has gotten way out of the frame and is half way down the wall by now.

I wonder if it would be any better in B&W.. :hu

Everything's better in B&W!


Except if you are Paul Simon! :)

-------------------
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
EVERYTHING LOOKS WORSE IN BLACK AND WHITE

Roy - Thanks for taking us back to the days of Paul Simon and Kodachrome. As an avid user of Kodachrome, back to the late 50's of ASA 10 days, and as a loyal fan of Simon and Garfunkel, both individually and separately, I really enjoyed your post!

I have some 35mm Kodachromes from about 1939, including an image of the woman Dad was dating.....until he met my mother! Then several dozen 4x5's from his Speed Graphic from right after WWII, mostly family, including moi The Chubster sitting on my beautiful mother's lap when I was six months old.

Well, the good news is that digital doesn't fade. The bad news is that quantity of images has overwhelmed quality.
