No
as it says in the title :)

Was looking at a massive advert on the north circ today and got me wondering what the biggest size you've seen your photos?.. anyone had any photos used as billboards?
 
16 sheet poster - which I think is 30 feet by 20 feet.
 
A measly 18x12 for me !, what about you Gary?
 
this is my biggest.. by no means billboard size.
i guess about 12 foot by 6 foot?

5m x 2m banner across the DLR access to Excel.

Work paid :)
 
A1 from my 4mp p&s, the Chrysler building shot from the empire state building
 
16 x 12 for me from my 20D

I got a Groupon today for a canvas 24x32" at £28.

So I'm in need of some quality images in the next month to print them.
 
I've seen a 10ft x 10ft one of mine..

There was also this one, which is seen behind David James on the Football League Show, which is about 6 ft square.

24" by 32" from a 10 mp dslr, looks a bit soft up close but good enough from a distance
 
Had some canvases printed at A1, very impressed with the lack of degradation esp as the original JPG was a 5 minute exposure at ISO800!

 
A0 (approx) from a film negative in 1991 of boot tracks in a snow field in the Cairngorms.

I've a nasty feeling that it was from a 126mm neg!
 
About 6m x 3m. But they didn't have the sense to ask for the 11mb original and used the 2mb email version instead. I guess it looked ok.

Great picture.... is it something that's extinct now? :eek: Looks like a cross between Bambi and Mutley.....
 
Correction to my earlier post: the picture was used on a 16 sheet poster (billboard) the size of that is 120" H x 80" W - also on a 48 sheet poster 240" W x 120" H. It was a shot of Carslberg lager bottles taken for a Carlsberg ad - through their ad agency. Shot on 5" x 4" transparency film. That tells you how long ago it was! :)
 
Six feet square from a 35mm positive.
 
Anyone beat 7 floors high? On a video billboard in manchester advertising a photo competition I'd been commended in.

Never blown anything up beyond A3 so far.
How do you know how large you can actually blow up an image before you start losing quality?

You will find rules around how 'big' you can go before image quality falls off but you need to take into account the proposed viewing distance. Stand next to a billboard and you'll see they are fuzzy as anything but from 50 yards away they're great. Something for your living room wall you would obviously want sharper.

Biggest I've ever seen anything of mine - panels used at an MOD display near Bristol. Not massive - I guess they were about 6 foot high.
 
I guess for a nice sharpe billboard picture you'd want that £25k 60MP (SIXTY!) Hassleblad......mmmmmmm tastey.
 
A2 acrylic print for me, 500d.

Maybe a smidge on the soft side up close but it was shot in 'P' mode...
 
I'm sure my brother has a 7 x 5" somewhere.
 
Last one I saw was last week on the back of a bus ;)
Largest was a 48 sheet billboard, file was from my old 1d mk2.
 
I printed up a temporary poster (1.8m x 1.3m) using 25 A3 sheets of paper to cover the back of a wardrobe in a makeshift bedroom for a few weeks before we moved house. Photo taken on a D5000 and characters added from disney and cbbc websites.

 
Mine is kind of a strange one, it's not really a print.

My work decorated their new building with employees photo's of the local area which they turned into paintings and hung on walls. They also gave us smaller versions of the paintings, the photo was shot with a point and shoot many years ago. It's not that great a photo actually, but it's banff Avenue and it shows it well.

The original painting is huge, like 10 ft.

this is the smaller version on my wall

A3 from a 35mm negative. Looks much more washed out and about half a stop brighter (at least) than the original - thanks Boots. Fuzzy as well because the PnS camera had a shoddy lens.
