This is a picture of me using my large format camera. I. Photo © copyright by Brett Deacon.
This photograph was captured on 4x5 inch film and scanned with my Optronics ColorGetter Eagle drum scanner. The four close-up crops below provide a view of the numbered red boxes above. This 740 megabyte image is sized for a 40x50 inch print at 360 dpi, and the apparent detail in a print this size will be even more than what can be seen in the crops below.

The ability to keep both near and far portions of the image in sharp focus, as seen above, is a product of the unique capabilities of a large format camera and, until recently as I describe in the Why Digital Photography? page, was not possible with smaller format film or digital cameras.
