Forest Pictures
Canon has announced an 18 megapixel camer for the under $1,000 consumer market. This will set a new quality level for suppliers of stock photos.
We are excited by this development because it will bring a new dimension to the study of forest ecology. With an 18 megapixel camera and a zoom lens I will be able to start with an overview picture and then gradually move to closer and closer images. All the time confident each picture can be enlarged to show an immense amount of hidden detail.
If I tie the pictures to a GPS recorder I have the beginnings of a really useful forest ecology teaching tool. It's going to be very interesting.
