Re: [APML] OT an incredible photo of ground zero



Tony,

It would be incredible to see this in full quality and at full resolution.  The problem with the posted image is that has quite severe JPEG compression artefacts - this may not be too visible in the browswer but it can be seen clearly in Photoshop.  It looks like it has been saved as JPEG at high compression or re-saved 2 or 3 times at medium compression.

Chris,
 
     I recognize the rebate edges of this original... it was taken with an aerial camera on huge sheet film, it is usually something like 9" X 9" square. This image only hints at the real resolution of these cameras... I have worked with these originals back in the Hallas Photo Lab days... they can go to 60 X 60 and still be crisp. They are usually shot on very fine grain film.
