•  Question Why only 5.50 Megapixel when the camera offers 18 Mpx? Yann (talk) 08:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

  18 MP images during 2012 are rare, tho. SHB2000 (talk) 11:40, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

  I expect at least 12 Mpx for a 18 Mpx camera, unless there is a compelling reason for a heavy crop. Yann (talk) 11:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Beautiful, but I tend to think we can expect more definition in the fall-colored trees for FP. It would be great to hear from Ximonic about that and the reason for the photo's size. I have to deliberate about whether I should oppose what is a really beautiful photo. I'm reluctant to do so, but if I think a bit coldly about it, on the face of it, it doesn't seem like one of the very best photos on the site to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:15, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

  Technically this is not one of my best photos, but the scene must have been too good to waste. Being 11 years old photograph I can't remember for sure why the quality is lower... I looked at it and it seems I might have not had a perfect focus either. Maybe that has been because of hurry being on a road that other cars use and there was no time to double-check results. Other affecting factors may have been a crop-sensor in these conditions to affect quality in fast handheld situation. Those earlier times I tended to shoot jpeg only, which wasn't as forgiving in post-process either. This also seems perspective-corrected which also eats some resolution. Whatever the situation was, for some reason I have thought that this resolution was good enough for the picture to look good for proper use. --Ximonic (talk) 13:46, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
