Kaka at Pukaha Mount Bruce Wildlife Centre, near Masterton.
This second Kaka image is a crop of the first image on this page and its dimensions are 2448 pixels x 1630 pixels (approx 4 megapixels). If the above image is printed at 150 pixels per inch (ppi), it will give a print size of 16.3 inches x 10.9 inches. The ability to obtain a good 16 inch wide print from an image that is only approximately 40% of the width and height of the original, is one of the advantages of filming with a 24 megapixel camera.
Note that, in this example, the total area of the original image is 24,385,536 pixels (6048 pixels x 4032 pixels), and the total area of the cropped image is 3,990,240 pixels (2448 pixels x 1630 pixels). Therefore, the cropped image represents just 16.4 % of the total area of the original image. To obtain a full-sized 6048 pixels x 4032 pixels image with the above field of view, the photographer would need to use a 173mm telephoto lens.
The above images have been saved at a low quality and are displayed at a relatively small size. Therefore, large prints of the above images look a lot better and show a lot more detail than can be seen above.
