Any luck in the inkjet department from such a shot? Which to me is crying out to by 13x19d on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper of which I am recently enamored. Both the size and the paper itself. My ASA 1600 setting which I get from my old D100 gives me great "grain" at such magnifications. Yet with no third party anti grain additives. Which I was doing today of my dog with his new very large bone. 13.5 inches long He'd not had one like this for awhile and he's walking around the house with it putting it different places to see how it looks. I gotta say it looks pretty good next to my Blue Balcar A1200 power pack. He's got a big doggy smile on his face. Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper is 3 bucks a sheet and I'm used to paying this anyway for Ilford Multigrade IV FB Fiber Based VC Variable Contrast darkroom paper in 16x20. Which sounds like a rip-off as the inkjet paper does not have silver salts or silver anything in them (peppers?). But having some background in print making in general I know that water color papers have always cost more than darkroom papers. So there!
