So we have seen the ads Nokia and/or ATT have running showing that you can crop and image and still have something reasonable to look at.

A friend of mine, Perry, has a bird that would love to take chunk out of me if I got close enough, but he looks great and is a good subject.

As you may or may not know, the 1020 makes 2 files for each image made. The small image of the bird is 1.32 MB 1728×3072  and the larger image is 6.72 MB 4352×7712 and both are 72 dpi & sRGB;  white balance: auto, digital zoom: 1, EXIF version: 0220, flash: auto, metering mode: average, exposure bias: 0, ISO: 100, 1/30 sec. @ f/2.2.

this is the 1.32 MB image

this is the 6.72 MB file

  this is the crop on the bird

and what it looks like

very, very slight sharping… all work done with Windows Photo Gallery 2012.  Will discuss WPG2012 later.

So how big a print would you like.

One cravat with all of this. The HiRes image is on the phone so a USB link is required and you will find the file name as: WP_20130928_19_41_00_Pro__highres.jpg  Year, month, day, time.

The image is also imbedded with a Geotag which provides a sort of journal for me to reference on the images I make with the Nikon’s.
