how big a diffrence?
Posted: May 4, 2007 - 2:19pm

I got permission to shoot the Big Rig Nationals at Maryland international Raceway ( drag racing) Tomorrow, the deal is I am not allowed to sell any images, thats find, I'm just looking forward to being able to shoot from track side.

SO, my question. If all I am going to do is have images for me to keep and make some 4x6 and a few 8x10's how big a deal is shooting Large Normal instead of Large Fine?
I double the amount of shots I can take this way. Remember all I want to do is make prints for myself, Will the quality be that big a deal? if so then I'll go head and shoot LF, but if it's not that much diffrence for what I want to print I'll shoot LN
Hope I get a reply before tomorrow (Sat)
Thanks!

Never let the (really low) cost of additional memory dictate the quality of your images. Always use the highest quality your camera is capable of. What may start out as a few 4x6 inch prints today you may end up wanting to print 20x30's of years from now.
