GCHA Posted December 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just installed my new printer. An Epson 2880, and have just printed my first images captured with my D Lux 4. I printed a Jpeg ,Pinhole Program image. Converted to 16bit Tiff, and minor editing done in Picture Window Pro, to a 10"X15" Color Image. The quality and rendition are great, very satisfied! The second image was a full resolution image, slightly edited and converted in Capture One to a 48bit tiff, Converted to B&W and edited in PWP with minimal sharpening, and printed with a slight selenium tint on the 2880 at 10"X15"... Again, it looks amazing. Excellent acuteness and sharpness with no sharpening artifacts! I also shoot with a Kodak DCS14n FF camera, which is no slouch in the acutance/sharpness domain, and this little Leica could give it a good run for the money!!! It looks like a toy, but believe me it certainly does not act like one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor1 Posted December 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2008 I'm glad you are so pleased with your new camera. Can you share some of your pictures with us? Regards, Carlos Marques Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCHA Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted December 12, 2008 When I am able to process and edit some more images, I would be glad to share them on this forum. Some of the members on this forum have a presence on the Web with their work, and I am interested in learning about creating a web page or blog to be able to share some of my work more widely. Does any one have any opinions about which way migh be best? Would an image hosting site work just as well? I would like to be able to generate some income with this visibility if possible! Thanks, Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted December 12, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2008 Gary, Check out Zenfolio | hosting service for photo galleries | a place to learn and enjoy photography - have worked well for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCHA Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted December 13, 2008 Thanks Bo, I checked out the Zenfolio Site. Looks very interesting, and something that might work for me. How long have used their service? And some other questions, if you have time: What service do you have? Do you let them do the fulfillment, or do you print and service your own? Do they have a list of their Partner services and costs, etc.? Have you been successful with the service and your sales? Are there suggested print prices, etc. Thanks, Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqci33 Posted December 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 14, 2008 Gary, get Adobe Lightroom and rent some space on a server (Westhost, or similar). Lightroom does a marvelous job in creating websites, Westhost has a bundle of ready made software for general websites. I use this combination for some time ( see F-33 Home Page Hi5 ), however, I am not a particular great photographer. Regards, Sigi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
