Small cute critters don't get enlarged beyond 8x10; large=scale landscapes get printed big, Hand-held vs. tripod isn't the right question; the question is "sharp enough" vs. "extremely sharp". Photos made with fast films seldom go bigger than 11x14. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
