During spring festival holidays, I counted photos took by myself. The amount is 19231, what a amazing number! Since I started photography life, to hang up my own photos on wall at home was one of my original thoughts. On the day, I thought it is time to do something.
To financing, on Wed. I sold out my Pocket PC (a brand new Dell x50) on ebay (BTW: I am a good dealer. :D). Yesterday I bought a new brand new printer - Epson Photo Style R210, a package of 20 sheets HP glossy photo paper at Metro City, and some wooden frames from IKEA.
I selected a seagull photo for first attempt, that was took at San Francisco last year. About 5 mins later, first A4 full-sized photo was rolled out from the printer. It is unbelievable, the image quality is very good so as to out of my expectation. I seal it into the frame and hang up on wall in my reading room. It is perfect, I love it!
Now it starts snow, seems harder than last time.

Looks like this photo was taken with a wide angle lens.
Identified 2 flaw here:
1. Barrel distortion on the frame was not properly controlled.
Correction: extend distance between lens and the object, keep the lens perpendicular to the object may solve the problem
2. Saw reflections on screen.
Correction: use C/PL lens and adjust lighting source, may reduce the reflection.
These are very small technical matters that you should be aware to improve image quality

Actually I shot the picture with a compact DC - Nikon 5200. At that time, I was too excited to the extent that I posted the image without any regulating. It definitely was a heedless action for a so-called serious photography enthusiast, I have been aware of this.
I appreciate you for kindly criticizing. Your professional comment is welcome in future.
