The benefits of 14.2 megapixels
This shot is used at around the correct size for 300dpi printing (it will print 50% larger than this on a typical inkjet
printer). The full image is a 14.2 megapixel shot on the Alpha 350, taken as raw, and composed using the 11-18mm
ƒ4.5-5.6 Sony SAL wide angle zoom at 11mm. The extra foreground has been included to avoid angling the camera
upwards. This keeps the church architecturally correct, with parallel verticals. The wasted foreground space can be
cropped off, leaving 8 to 10 megapixels (depending on the amount cropped). A square crop from the full frame is 9.5
megapixels. You can also crop for panoramics and end up with a good size of file for printing – 4592 pixels wide.
