A little reminder why I love my Camera
0I was looking on the BBC’s website today, and noticed one of their “Zoom” images, where basically they provide an image from a current news story, and you can zoom in to the detail. Knowing that my camera takes 18 Megapixel images (5,184 x 3,456), and that the images on the BBC’s website is about 1000 pixels wide, it means the user can zoom into the detail up to 5 times. Detail that is barely visible at the reduced width suddenly becomes aware in the full resolution image.
Take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12731778 and look at the building on the left hand side. At first look, you can see the high water line of the Tsunami, but zoom in, and you can see multiple high water lines, this more than likely being from the high tide and low tide effect on the body of water.
Call me a geek, but I do love to pixel peep!
The Police get involved
0Back at one of my Nightclub events I took photos of last year, I was informed by one of the managers of the club that an incident had taken place out-with the premises, but the Police were interested in obtaining the originals to the photographs, as they believed the individual(s) involved were present in the club earlier, and that I may have taken some photos of them. Whilst this case is ongoing, and I am not able to provide identifying details, I can at least comment on my experience, disseminating where necessary.
