The Joy of Printing

One of my favorite photo activities, second only to spending time in the field, is creating prints. There is just something I love about crafting a product that can be held in your hand, or (better yet) hung on a wall.

This evening I'm working on a 16x20 print of the image below for a client. The digital file was produced from a 4x5 drum scan, so the detail is just amazing. You can see individual water droplets on the brightly colored blades of grass. And the aspen bark has a texture that you can almost feel.

And here's a cropped section of the lower right corner with some water droplets clinging to the blades of grass. Just for you, dionysis! ;-) (See comment below)
