Photography: Large Images From The Four Thirds System
225cms x 175cms
No, this isn’t about the new 12 Megapixel Sensor in the Panasonic G1, or the Olympus E-30. This picture was taken with my Olympus E-3.
You may not think there’s anything remarkable about the picture but in fact the image is a little over 1 : 1 in scale. That’s to say that the subject and the image on the camera sensor were around the same size. For most photographs the image in the sensor is far smaller than the real thing.
Add some RAW processing, and photographic ‘know how’ and a 16 bit file was prepared to print at over 180 pixels per inch at a size of 175 x 225 cms. Yes folks this image is to be printed far bigger than I am tall, or even fat!
The image is a special installation commissioned by an architect to solve an interior design problem.
This is the largest print I’ve ever made. Naturally proofs in various sizes will shortly be for sale from my Fine Art website.
