Tips On Taking A Photograph That May Be Enlarged Later

We are often asked by compact digital camera users to provide some tips on taking a photograph that they plan to enlarge at some stage (note that we are discussing digital photographs here, rather than those produced on film). Accordingly, this article will provide a number of insights, but it should be noted that it is by no means an exhaustive list.  Below are a few tips that may help you to produce a more suitable photo: 

• The first suggestion is that you should try to produce the best possible photo to begin with, so aim to use the best camera and equipment that is available to you.  The quality of the lens, the digital sensor and the flash, amongst other design qualities, have a considerable impact on the sharpness and quality of the image, which are major factors themselves as to whether an image can be or is worth enlarging.

• Of course, having  a camera capable of capturing high-resolution images is also very handy.  The ‘megapixel count’ is important, but the factors mentioned above are just as important.

• Another important point is that you should set your camera’s resolution to the highest possible setting.  Note that some cameras will describe the best resolution as ‘superfine’ or ultra fine’, while others will describe it in terms of a numerical value, such as ’1600 X 2000′ pixels.

• A common mistake made by compact camera users is the use of the ‘digital zoom’ feature.  This feature makes use of the camera’s digital processor to artificially enlarge the image, rather than using the camera’s lens to zoom in on the target image.  Digital zoom deteriorates the quality of the image, so its use should be avoided where possible.

• The other important advice we would offer is to keep your camera, the lens in particular, clean.  Always store your camera in a case when not in use.  You should also consider purchasing some sort of lens cleaning accessory, such as a brush or air blower (or both), because at some stage dust will get onto the lens.

• Use a tripod, if possible. Otherwise try to brace your elbows on something level. A park bench or even an esky can come in handy in these situations. Where you cannot brace yourself on some object, concentrate on staying as still as possible when shooting.

• If available, use the manual white balance adjustment of your camera. This will often produce better results than the auto setting.

• If possible, take several shots of the same scene or action sequence.  You may even want to try different settings, such as different zoom levels, or white balance, or shutter speed settings.

• Plan or think about the photographs you have in mind to shoot.  Look through the viewfinder and ask yourself whether the image conveys what you intend and want it to.

• Avoid having the sun directly in the picture, unless specifically desired.  Even better, try to avoid having the sun at a position that is in front of the lens.  The aim here is to avoid such issues as lens flare (see our online glossary at http://www.giantprint.com.au/glossary for more information).

Finally, take your time to read your  camera’s manual and understand its features and limitations. You may also want to read the many resources that there are online and in print that address techniques for better composition of your photo.

 Good luck with your projects!

Personally, I say they are all reliable and able to do 3D. However, you were to ask, which between the 3, I would personally pick the Honey Bee King 2. That is a better one, especially since it comes with an aluminium case and you could get a 2.4Ghz radio with it. Also, I have tested these helicopters at an airfield once. The ESky Belt CP had poor handling and something fell off the heli during flight and made it wobble… I forget what it was, but I think it was one of the swashplate links? (This was possibly from pilot repairing error than product error) The Walkera Dragonfly 60 is cool. I have never tested it, but have read people have good experience with it. My flying buddy has one and he never had any trouble with it as far as I know. As for the Honey Bee King 2, I flew and landed safetly during the test flight. Great helicopter.

Now personally, I have went with the E-Flite product line. I started with the E-Flite Blade CX and stuck with the E-Flite models since. I got the Blade CP Pro and it flies wonderful! great 3d helicopter for only $150 now. (From what I read on the e-fliterc.com site) When I bought it, it was $220… darn… but yea… If you want something even more cool, get the Blade 400 ($469.99) or wait for the Blade CP Pro 2 ($219.99) to come out. I am reading very good reviews about both these helicopters. I hovered the Blade 400 once outdoors and it is amazing. The Blade CP Pro 2 will be similar to the Blade 400, except it is smaller, no belt, no rear motor pitch, and no super skids. Does have a nice 2.4 Ghz controller though! and along with that, a nice heading lock gyro! amazing! Anyways, those are my recommendations to you. Happy flights!
