Don!

Gimli it was!

George!

You bet there is!

When we take over the world there's gonna be some changes, boys!

Yeah, Gwyn, and a dumb one at that!

What scares the begeebers out of me are airplanes flying around the globe and getting serviced and refueled in different countries and continents.

We had a near disaster here in Canada some years back when a passenger jet was refueled in litres instead of gallons. Some heroic flying and an old abandoned runway saved many lives.

Bob,

Good point about the cropping! I've run into this problem when I take an SD card or CD to one of our handy dandy Kodak printers. I've usually left the image somewhat oversized for that very reason.


Are these like the 'world series' things that are only seen on that side of the pond? [/quote]Hardgravity,

Yup, or the Miss World and Miss Universe contests.

Well, Canada's gone metric at least. It's a start

I saw the title of this thread, and thought, "Oh no, Mac has been clicking on those links in those spam emails..."
"Maybe he's into the scotch.."
[/quote]Don,

Don, Don, Don!

Only you, Don!

That particular type of enlargement spam dissapeared after I upgraded my anti-virus software. (Not kidding!)

I'm home on a snow day in Montreal and would love to have been into the scotch, but alas must operate the snowblower on a regular basis. (Clasifies as heavy equipment in our house.)

Man, I gotta be more careful with my subject titles!

Thanks again everyone!

Worked a treat, made me go and look at your other nice shots of Cuba, too.

Well done!

Gwyn! Howard!

Thank you both so much!

That really clears it up for me.

And Wow, those are some BIG enlargements!

I can see why the 14MP CCD is so sought after!

Appreciate it!

I haven't seem a dumb question here today, so I must be slipping.

Lots of you folk speak of sharpness and ISO grain etc. in terms of "It's good up to A3" or something similar.

I assume (always dangerous) that has to do with enlargement sizes (paper?).

Being a complete Canadian amature, I get my prints at the pharmacey, and can only relate to 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 inch sizes. I've never had the opportunity to splurge for 16x20.

Is there a table I can be referred to (gently, please) which compares "A" sizes to something by something?

How's that for "New"?

Hey, David!

Welcome aboard. Hang on for a fun ride!

I like your credentials - you'll have something to offer for sure.

Elwood,

Hi!

Don't worry about being new.

I've been here for years and am very often asked, "What? Are you NEW?"



You'll love it here.
