Hi

I just got this comment: "Wonderful shot, I wish the frame was wider though with 35mm dimensions."

My question is: What is 35mm dimension?

I always resize my entry to 640 x 480, what would be the 35mm format?

Thanks

Alain

I think I may have left that comment... 35mm dimensions are roughly 2x3, so if I'd taken a photo with my FZ10 (great camera!), I'd crop to 640x427 (I think... someone can correct me if I'm wrong). DSLRs' sensors have the same ratio as 35mm film, whereas prosumer sensors have a slightly squarer ratio.

Bob,

Your right, it was actually your comment. Thanks for the hint, I never stop and think about that. I will consider this in future challenge.

Thanks again

Alain
