[...] Over at Marko Kulik’s Photography.ca site, I’m happy to say there’s a new entry in his podcast series. It features an interview with yours truly, where Marko and I talk about how big digital photos can be printed, and some of the things that influence that choice. If you’re new-ish to digital printing and have sometimes wondered about making bigger enlargements of some of your work, you might have been held back if you’re nervous when considering the cost and whether the final results will look good. There are some guidelines that can give you a measure for sizing a photo that you think deserves to be seen in a larger format. Hit the link and have a listen to Photography.ca podcast episode #122 — How Big Can I Print that Photo? [...]

Marko & Royce thank you again for making all this knowledge public for all of us. As usual, this was very inspirational.
Marko I very much like the new pace you are taking since the last 3 podcasts. It feels like in the old days again when you started this; always something interesting to listen.

Thanks for the comments! We did our best to make the topic clear and useful.

There are a lot of things to be concerned about in photography, but the #1 priority always is — is it a good photograph? Great photography transcends the mere technicals. When you realize the interplay of the image itself and things like how much detail the eye sees at typical viewing distances, this why we sometimes have a bit more latitude to push a print than simple technical concerns might suggest.

We don’t want bad technicals just out of being slack, or not understanding good craftsmanship. But great photographs will impress people unless our craft execution becomes bad enough to detract from the imagery. The proof of the image I think really is in viewing the print…

This episode is a classic, VERY good ! Not something that seemed to be discussed too often. And it re-assure me that ‘loving’ to print my own pictures, is ok ! LOL !!!! Well done, keep up the excellent work Marko !

Marko, I always enjoy the interviews! This was a great discussion. After hearing Royce explain what the eye is actually capable of perceiving, I’m a little more comfortable blowing up some of my older photos.
