A lecture on photographic techniques for those who can basic photography, here I focus on selected elements I think is important to get good pictures technically suited to large magnifications.

This is a dialogue with the audience and a pedagogical approach to something you think is a bit difficult.
Discusses the chip in the camera, how a pixel works, and how the image is to the camera.
Explains dynamic range, why it is important, with examples.
Bits per pixel, what is it and how do we deal with it.
Diffraction, we can avoid it.
A little about raw files
Much about sharpness, what can we do to optimize sharpness.
Pixels, noise and enlargements
Histogram, explained and some advice on the road.
HDR explained
Focus mapping explained
Color and other provisioning to print (approaching the wall now :))
Papers to print
Rendering indent and important choices for print.

The lecture is being held as a dialogue with questions and answers along the way. The lecture takes only an hour, but it has taken up to 3.5 hours with many questions and dialogue with the audience.
