The following tidbits were shared on two other threads of mine (
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/12-post-your-photos/260768-travel-scotlan...62-images.html and
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/137-photographic-industry-professionals/2...nt-sale-2.html), however I doubt many of you even saw those, so I wanted to share this here with you.
Jenny had been bugging me to get some of my images printed for our bare walls for quite a while (over a year lol). Because I hadn't even gotten any before,
we were about to get our first print for the house (I know....I know)
So, I asked her if the image of us overlooking Edinburgh would be good, and after getting her approval, I decided to go for gold - the largest print size that I could order from the partner labs with Zenfolio (where my prints can be ordered from through my Zenfolio website). I went with the largest size to not only have a great "mantle photo" of us, but honestly I wanted to test how the
K-3 would hold up to such a huge print, not only for my own curiosity,
but to see if it would be worthwhile to offer prints that large for sale.
In good conscience I would not be able to offer the size if I didn't know, so I bit the bullet, and not even a week later (!) it arrived:
Jenny thinking she's Vanna White:
It needed two people to hold it it was so big:
That's a
30x45 inch (76x114 cm) print, aka
A ZERO.
And let me tell you - it looks abso-f'ing-lutely incredible!!
At this size, it's approximately 133 dpi. Even from close up inspection, you can still make out the windows and which ones have blinds up/down. Unbelievable.
I am now, if I wasn't before, 100% a believer in the power of the K-3. Just.....wow....
Anyway, wanted to share that with you all.
