Scenic Splendour...solely of scenic spots

      The word "Resolution" is used in so many different contexts,  it's definition can be a bit confusing.  For my intent

and purpose I will restrict the definition of "resolution" herein solely to that of the Final Printed Image...  whether a

Photographic Print (grain)  or a Digital Print (d.p.i.)  -  it matters not.  

 
     RESOLUTION defines the clarity & sharpness of detail

in the Final Print,  as well as affecting it's color saturation

and contrast.  The resolution and color saturation in a large

print from these 4x5 film scans is stunning.  Many of my

Large Prints have surprised me with details unseen in the

previous smaller prints, such as hikers high in an alpine

meadow or waterfalls on a distant ridge. 

    A lower resolution image "breaks up" if  it is enlarged

too much and will lose color saturation and sharpness of

detail yielding a softer focus in the final image.  The High

Resolution Prints have much greater color saturation and 

contrast latitude yielding a sharper, more life-like image. 

I've illustrated some examples of High Resolution on the

Digitally Spliced Page.

 
     Speaking of resolution brings us to SCALE.  There's the

resolution of a small print & there's the resolution of a

LARGE PRINT.  Both may be of High Resolution, but the

Large Print will have a much greater impact on the viewer. 

A  PANEL DISPLAY is two or more prints hung in

succession (lined up next to each other) creating a

Panoramic View.  You can almost be surrounded in a large

Panel Display.  Of course, the drawback of a large display

is that it requires a large space for installation.

     FRAMING is a personal choice.  Since art is subjective

and everyone can experience it differently,  I will leave the

unlimited framing options up to you- Matte/Glass/Frame. I

have displayed numerous prints bare, without any glass to

protect them (which eliminates a lot of glare issues).  They

endure rather well, really!  Just dust them off with a

feather duster or dry cloth.

 
      Most important of all is the FINAL INSTALLATION. 

This caters to the viewer's ability to SEE the Image under

optimum conditions, and it's likely that the piece will stay

there for awhile.  So great consideration should be paid to

Placement & Optimal Lighting.  A great print can

disappear behind a glass reflection if not installed

properly.
