Small Camera Big Picture

[Phinehas]

This is me using the camera I took the picture on the wall with, a Stylus Tough. I took it about about 4 years ago. I processed it in Topaz giving it sort of a 1950's post card look. My friends that own a local business liked it so well they wanted a big (48 X 60, 4 feet X 5 feet) print to hang on their company's wall. I think it came out quite well for a 48X60 print considering it was taken with a pocket P/S. I was really surprised that standing in front of it of the clarity and that it was free of noise. Today was the fist time I was able to visit the store to take a look at it although it's been there for over a month now. My wife took this picture with my iPhone.

The building is the Jasper County Courthouse in Carthage Missouri.

Fantastic photograph.
This debunks the perceived logic of maximum print sizes from small sensors.

Thanks guys for the comments. I was truly amazed also, not by the image I took, but the fact that it printed 48X60 successfully. I used the fish-eye setting @ 80 ISO. I hope this evidence of what a small sensor can do is useful to others.

Very well done.

Excellent! You caught the "1950s postcard" look beautifully. :-)
