Can I use your break room/ship-picture in a photo forum for beginners on Facebook, please? The name of it is Beginners Photography Group.

With your picture I want to show the members what a huge size of a picture the cropped sensor is capable of.

I answered your question via PM

That's tremendous-looks like the resolution was spot on.

Thanks! I was worried about the resolution when they wanted to enlarge it (it was previously hanging in our old offices in a fairly standard 12x16 frame.

The only issue I see is the limited audience. That should be out where the rest of the world can see it. Well done!

Thanks! Maybe we will parade visitors through the break room :)

Resolution does NOT depend on the size of the sensor, but on the number of pixels and the resolution of the lens. The advantage of FF lies in better high ISO response (generally speaking) and shallower depth of field for the same angle of view.

Yes, but I would think also that the more light each pixel can absorb, the less inherent noise that would manifest itself more visibly in an enlargement. Maybe my thinking is off, though.

Great shot and blow-up. It makes me more confident that my D5100 is totally capable for all the image quality I need.

Thanks. Honestly, I was a little surprised of two things: first, I took this photo from another watercraft, which was rocking itself (yay for image stabilization!); second, how non-pixelated the enlargement was.

Wow!
If I could ask, where did you have the photo processed?
Wow!

I can probably find out. It was part of our new office modeling, so some sort of wallpaper company.

Nicely done! It might make me a little nervous thinking that this ship is bearing down on me while I eat my lunch!

Well, we don't want any lollygaggers, lol

Cool shot! Nothing instills confidence like having the Navy guard your lunch! 😀👍

Most of us are former Navy, and it resonates with our business (Caterpillar Marine Asset Intelligence).

I know I've read here about the advantages of full frame with regard to large images. For anyone wondering how big a crop sensor image can go, here is a photo I took with a D7200 a few years ago that makes up a 12'x16' wall in our office break room. The resolution looks pretty decent, but I am looking forward to venturing into full frame in the next year or so.
