The real prize of my shots for the night was quite possibly

Yeah, I think I like the color-corrected one better too.

Hmm. Given an image of 39304x4684px, and a printer supposedly capable of 5760x1440dpi (Such as, say, an Epson R280), I wonder what the smallest inches you could print it to without losing any image information OR distorting the height/width ratio would be, and what dpi/etc settings would be used for such a thing? (I really need to learn how to work px/dpi/in calculations someday.)

Reminds me, I need to get some photo paper and a nice big photo sometime and see what this thing can really do...

Holy crap. You've really outdone yourself this time... :)

I should think an architecture firm or a civil engineering/city planning outfit might want such a thing, but how you would sell such an animal, I dunno. But it is a very cool shot...
