        I'm happy that this guy was promptly removed from the society without
        taking anyone innocent, especially that oncoming driver, along with
        him.

3/7     Does anyone else think the iPad3 isn't really that much better
        than the iPad2?  I don't really understand the hype.
        \_ 5MP camera?  My 1-yr-old Android phone has a 8MP auto-focus camera
           (plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)
              \_ The iPad camera seems like a joke to me.  The iPad is just
                 to big to be useful for taking pictures.  Maybe it makes

8/28    Hi, anybody printed a photo image to a big plotter?  Something like
        36"x36"?  I'm wondering how many megapixels the image need to
        have in order for the print to "look good".  There is a rule of
        thumb?  Like 6 megapixel is good for X size print.  10 megapixel
        is good for Y size print.  Thanks.
        \_ You don't need that many more megapixels for much bigger prints,

9/28    A lot of photos I take come out blurry. A lot of them are clear,
        too, but the proportion of blurry photos is high. This has led me
        to take more photos than I otherwise would in hopes of getting a
        clear one. I took some photos of the Rio grande and they
        were all awesome, but the next day I took photos of landscapes
        and almost all of them were blurry. Could it be the camera or is

Guest Book Latest News: The year 2004 has been filled with photo taking and presentations. The mi les have added up as we have traveled the Western US and Canada. Many groups have generously allowed us to share our goals and efforts in person; including Adobe, HP Labs and camera clubs (see COBA links in the Travelogue section). Our Vision Defining the upper limits of large-format photography, digital scanning a nd image processing, custom-built Gigapxl cameras capture images with u nprecedented resolution. It would take a video wall of 10,000 television screens or 600 prints fro m a professional digital SLR camera to capture as much information as th at contained in a single Gigapxl exposure. The Project's near-term goal is to compile a coast-to-coast portrait of A merica; photographing her cities, parks and monuments in exquisite detai l A longer term goal is to create for future generations a world-wide archi ve of vanishing cultural and archaeological sites.
