If we zoom in all the way, we can take 32 separate images, creating an image of about 360 megapixels, or 21,909 x 16,432.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printed at 300dpi, this would create a very sharp image that is 73″ x 54″. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistically, an image this detailed could be printed about as big as you want – at 20′ high, the detail would exceed perfect visual acuity at a distance of 4′.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The challenge with this technique is not capturing the detail, but actually finding subjects with enough detail to be interesting at these magnifications. Natural objects tend to work well, as do mediums such as plaster that can retain extremely fine marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some of the images I have created using this method. Note that all of these images have a certain amount of depth to them – in some cases, up to half an inch or so. At close distances, the depth of field<\/a> is very small, so multiple images need to be taken at different focus distances, and combined using software. I use Helicon Focus<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  I have printed some of these works at up to 24″ x 36″, and the level of detail is very good. I have also done test prints simulating much larger images with positive results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  #<\/a> Good printing services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

  For color images up to 24″ x 36″, I use Adorama<\/a>, now called Printique. For larger sizes, I would recommend Giclee Today<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  If you want an image on traditional black and white photo paper, try Digital Silver Imaging<\/a>. I have some of their prints and they look very smooth and neutral. For very detailed black and white images with high detail and a flatter appearance, try Piezography<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
