Philipp, I just started printing again, and have not yet printed these. I am planning to print the tree with the red berries as large as I can find a wall spot for, and which my printer will handle, probably A3+. At the moment I am testing papers (SIHL Professional Photo Baryt, Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright White, Canson Rag Photographique), but only have A4 for these tests. So far I am very happy with the SIHL, but need to test the others more. I want to have a look at the background blur printed large sometime soon, because ultimately I am aiming at printing, and I may have too much blur. I need to adjust my shooting parameters for the eventual destination. At the moment I have just an Epson R2400, but the ink is schweineteuer, and I would like to be able to print to at least A2, so I might pick up a 3880 or 4880. I think even the 3880 has too-pricy ink, so the 4880 or its replacement might be the one to get. I don't know what the 4450 is all about yet, I guess I need to look into that.
Luka, I can take no credit for stitching them. Autopano Pro just handles it. I do overlap more than usual, up to about 50%, just in case, but I have not yet seen problems.
Why don´t you get it printed in a dedicated shop? They can also mount it. Might not be more expensive when you think of the cost for printer, ink and paper, then there is the color management. I would have bought a large format printer long ago but these are just huge and heavy, there is just no space for it in my apartment.
Philipp, I don't have any big, free walls. We are three in a 90 sq.m. apartment, with lots of shelves and cupboards. I hung two A3 frames with A4 prints on one piece of wall, but that turned out to be too small for there, so I will probably move them to the kitchen, and hang two A2 frames with A3+ prints, or similar. I have one other wall which is fairly large, and I could imagine an A1 or A2+ frame with an A2 print there.
I do enjoy printing, and prefer to do it myself. I realize that as long as I have little wall space, it isn't the most logical thing to do, but I plan to accumulate multiple sets of prints to rotate between. With time, these collections will also serve as portfolios/collections for showing and perhaps hanging in a gallery or restaurant.
Later in life we will undoubtedly move to a larger place with more wall space, and then I can buy more frames and hang more prints. Perhaps at that time A1 prints will make more sense. Eventually I would like to print large, very large, but that will be some time yet.
Ulff - Love your composition. Beautiful
Carsten - In this size, you are right, it is a bit hard to see the oof area. However, I love the way how crips the pavement is expressed . Beautiful light on the other side of river.
Ok, something a bit different from tree shots with CY50
Here is another panorama, this time 50MP@f/2.8, 8 shots. This one is also not very bokeish, but printed large, would likely have this look. The 50MP has so much depth of field that I am beginning to feel that it is not the best lens for boke panoramas, unless I go very close.
