David Kilpatrick Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just seen a request on Photographers Direct wanting files for $125 each showing several major stock exchange floors. Requirement - to be able to enlarge to at least 30 x 40 feet and 'still have crisp resolution'. PD assesses submitted files at... 500 pixels wide :-) (WHERE did the G in Gigapixels go when I edited it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Don't know whether to laugh or cry! :lol: for the request and how they are to assess this :( for the amount offered for what must be a good (i.e. 'well-heeled') end client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Must admit PD is getting to be more of a joke with some of the ridiculous requests that pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes, I got a giggle out of that one too. Perhaps it's for Donald Trump's executive washroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Palmer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 At 30' high x 40' wide that would be one heck of an executive washroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 30' high x 40' wide that would be one heck of an executive washroom. There are a few jokes there - not that I would be the one who'd dare repeat them....!

losdemas Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Must admit PD is getting to be more of a joke with some of the ridiculous requests that pop up. It does seem to be the end of the line for some picture researchers, but I guess it must be worth the effort to get that shot of a one-legged, middle-aged, Hispanic unicyclist shopping at Walmart with a hair-dryer in one hand and a frown on their face. Esoteric requests? Whaddya mean?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we all know that "The Donald" is full of you-know-what. But best not to go there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
