$1500 Print

[Mike Farley]

If I were spending that much on a print, I would want a more exciting image than this. The main attraction seems to be the amount of detail revealed by the printing process.

Ming Thein gives a partial explanation of his "Ultraprint" method in this post. By his own admission, such prints can only be fully appreciated at close viewing distances rather than what would usually be considered normal. It might be worth experimenting with his ideas to see if there is any benefit for competition images when some judges do seem to have a preference for pixel peeping when assessing prints.

Ming continues to fail to impress.

Ming continues to fail to impress.

The irony is that he considers himself to be a photographer with the reviews as a sideline, whereas the reality is that his reviews are often the more interesting part of his output.

Remove the #more-XXXX part from the URL and it'll go to the top.

That's a general thing that works on any webpage* - whenever you see a # (hash) in a URL, everything that comes after is the "fragment identifier" which tells the browser which part of the page to jump to. (The other parts identifying which server/page/content to use.) To put that another way: changing/removing the text after the hash does not alter the content a webpage shows, only which part of that content the browser jumps to.

*That's specifically webpage - some webapps (e.g. Gmail) have appropriated the fragment identifier for their own uses, and behave slightly differently.

Thanks, Peter. I was vaguely aware of the facility to jump to a particular section of a page, but MT's prose failed to inspire me to look at the issue more closely.
