		<description>LOL on the coffee and cognac! that sounds good!  Thanks for sharing Tony, I am coming to terms with faster shutters and using a monopod myself, it feels like I&#039;m Jake the Peg with an extra leg, but if it ups the sharpness and makes me fall in love with more images, then bring it on!  Also looking to do the mirror lockup to see if I can get night dance shots better too, so this post was great!</description>

		<description>Hi Tony,

It all looks a bit of a spiral – up word or down, no me to answer. More pixels,  larger prints, more high tech, more demands, more $$$ never ending. One can be elevated but never satisfied with anything one creates/produces/makes – the way infinity is. It’s great to read your posts, always very stresful. Off for coffee and cognac –it’s hot 40C again. Hope to see you one day.</description>

		<description>Ian, I agree with you.  Many years ago I started doing that and now have quite a collection.  Put your favourites of the moment into it and keep putting in what you think are your best quality of those. It is amazing to see how your styles change, what you photograph changes, what paper and method you use for your printing; AND what it says about you along the way.  A bit like Tony&#039;s &quot;which seven images will you put on your coffin&quot; altho his is a more refined version</description>

		<description>I much prefer to see actual prints than anything projected even if it is onto a large plasma or screen. The quality thing, I think, is a bit of a bonus that comes with that. It good being &quot;pedantic&quot; - high qualtity blur is a great thing. 

To me though the print is the thing. Even if its 6x4 you pin on the wall it still talks to you whenever you walk past. If its good enough it keeps saying &quot;come back ...look some more... you havnt seen it all..&quot;. Nothing hiding inside a laptop is able to do that.

My question is though - how do you live with big prints? No doubt they are the top of the line but 2 or maybee 3 are all that most houses can take. If you want to sell them then a big print is harder to sell. What do you do with the big print that blows your trumpet?


Im coming to the way of thinking that a portfolio box of A2 or A3 prints might be a good compromise.
