I love critique, another point of view is always welcome.

Normaly I would say you are right but in my eyes the fog has a weight too. And when you look closer, I know it is not easy visible because I like to print more than to scan, you will see some trees and the path barely visible on the right side to balance the print.

Thank you for the critique

You're absolutely right; it's a matter of how you perceive it.
(And I totally agree about the prints.)

My normal workflow is that I print a 18x24 cm working copy and scan these at 800 dpi for the internet. Negatives I scan with 1600 dpi and these size is possible even with my old Canon 8400 scanner. With a dedicated filmscanner bigger sizes are no problem.

This should be enough for a digital frame

Thank you for the answer. I asked you because a friend of mine challenged me into a discussion and told me that a friend of his scanned a film frame and obtained a digital phrame around 20 000*20 000 dpi...I was very shocked to hear that ... that.s why I asked..

When he scans with a printing resolution of 1600 (that is dpi=dots per inch)that would be a printing size 20000:1600=12,5x12,5 inch, can be done with a good scanner at ease and helps to get a better detail but you have to scale down to 300 dpi, that is enough for a photoprinter. But that does not help to get a better picture on a digital frame because there the resolution is ppi= pixel per inch. Looking at the statistics of my HP the most used resolution from my visitors is 1280x800 pixel. A big monitor has 1920x1200 pixel, How big is his digital frame compared to a monitor?

2009 I had a print [link] in a exhibition with a width of 1,2 m (panoramaformat), far more that I'm able to print myself. So a friend scanned the negative with 4871x3037 pixel and 1200 dpi. That was more than enough for the print with a LightJet 500 XL.

he had a half of a wall covered with that printing.
