“Adventures at 11 x 17″ and “Gearlust cured”.

Ordered an 11×17 print of this shot today:
I like the texture effect for this web version, but once I saw the printed version I was solidly in the “meh” camp. So I came home and remixed it into this (which I will pick up tomorrow):
I’m confident that it will look much better.
Gearlust.
I really, REALLY wanted the new Canon 5D mII. I shoot Nikon right now, but 21MP had me salivating. I compared the price of the Canon to the Sony a900 - both including comparable high end lens sets - and the a900 was significantly more. Plus the video capabilities of the mII piqued my curiosity.
Anywho… the 11×17 I had printed today cured, or should I say ‘tempered’, my 5DmII lust. This was my first print over 8×10 and MAN was I impressed. My measly 10MP Nikon D80 produced great results! Individual hairs can easily be seen, the detail is fantastic.
Gearlust cured. Not a bad thing given today’s economy.
