I suddenly feel like a commercial for Walmart, but oh, well. We stopped over there yesterday after I had taken some pictures of Abby. As I have mentioned before, our camera takes high enough resolution pictures to print out clear 8x10 photos. It just so happens that the pcitures that I took of Abby were in that high resolution and in “SuperFine” mode, so they were as clear as they were going to get. Sort of.
Anyway, it turns out that Walmart prints are dirt cheap. The 4x6 prints are 10 cents cheaper than anywhere else I tried. All three pictures I had done cost less than $5 total. They came out fast, too. It only took 15 minutes to print 1-8x10, 1-5x7, and 1-4x6. I’m pretty sure they squirted out of the printer all at about the same time, so it wasn’t like 5 minutes per photo, which would have been awful.
Unfortunately, our little kid doesn’t know how to stand still, so the picture was obviously blurry in the 8x10 print, and even somewhat in the 4x6. In the camera screen (I know, I know) only the background looked blurry, which made the picture look very cool. But it wasn’t so in the prints. Maybe next time. Perhaps in the future I should focus on pictures of Abby sleeping, so that I can avoid the motion-blur.
Perhaps I will put this picture online later so you can all wonder what I was thinking when I decided that this one would be good to use.
