Drought and Heat in my Yard.
5

No significant rain for weeks and weeks here near Bellville, Texas.

An Elderberry looks a bit thirsty:

The Bell Pepper is watered twice a day but it doesn't seem to like the daily bout with around 100F:

Nice detail from the SD9/17-50mm ... who needs 50MP? ....

Looks very good!

I like the character of the sd9 the most out of all Sigma cameras I think. I like using it too.

I don't need 50mp either. I've printed A4 size from the sd9 and I'm sure it's possible to go even bigger.

I suppose any size is OK at the "proper" viewing distance ...

e.g. 40" X 60" at 6ft ...

Indeed.

As Keith Cooper said, only photographers inspect large exhibition prints close up. if they do that, throw them out (that was my words).

I have a few Merrill 30x48s that you can get  close and inspecti it with a magniflying glass.  My father-in-law did it and was amazed at the level of detail.
