I know that most of the images here tend to be found gold but a few must be photos taken by the posters. I know that Canada girl stuff are photos that they take and post and are done excellently and can be enlarged without detail lose.

I wish I had photos to post but my young and wild days were pre-digital and I have no photo record.--SIGH--. I used a manual 35 mm canon slr then. I now use a manual 35 mm nikon slr and a digital nikon point and shoot and a digital d500 nikon slr. Techniques vary for each but there are common rules for all to ensure good resolution that can withstand enlargement.

Is there anyway we can tell people unschooled in or new to digital photography how to take photos that will stand up to enlargement without becoming a blur. Maybe help in posting them so the can be enlarged without losing too much detail or how to take the photograph so when it is enlarged past a 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 image is doesn't end up looking like a bunch of blurry squares. On so many photos if you just click on them they lose too much detail. Some aren't even viewable as posted.

As i said most of the stuff here is stuff we find but on those occasions when we do get lucky enough to take the photo it would be nice for photogs to understand how to take a good quality photo that can be enlarged without losing detail and without having to read a book that's geared to serious digital photographers who use digital slrs.

Should this be a new forum or do most members feel there is no need for it?
