Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / May 2008Digital photo of Michelangelo Creation of Adam?
I need to make a print in a custom size (8x20) of Michelangelo Creation of Adam. Not the complete picture. Just the 2 hands touching fingers. I've googled until my fingers are worn but I haven't been able to find a source for a HIGH RESOLUTION digital version of this picture. I'm not too picky but even at just 200dpi that would be 1600x4000. I probably need an even larger original as I need to crop it to a 8x20 panorama frame. Anyone know of a source where I could get this file? Thanks. Bruce. > I need to make a print in a custom size (8x20) of Michelangelo Creation of > Adam. Not the complete picture.

Even film shots printed in a coffee table book would not be "free for the asking," but rather probably copyrighted. There's nothing wrong with a photographer asking a healthy price for his work.

The chapel is constantly monitored by guards who control people and enforce this photography ban. So hats off to those photographers who managed to smuggle in professional photography equipment with a long lens and managed to get a sharp handheld shot despite the poor lighting conditions.

Its quite hard enough getting a sharp 6MP 20mm (equiv) shot of the ceiling of the Sistine chapel ;-) --Sophie (no, you don't get 4000x1600 of the fingers touching from such a shot. But the ceiling as a whole is more glorious than the central panel, albeit the central panel is the famous bit) > $330 is just 214 Euro. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > professional photography equipment with a long lens and managed to get a > sharp handheld shot despite the poor lighting conditions. I think that site said their file was "licensed" so I assumed at some point they had legal access. Perhaps that's why it's so expensive. I can understand charging that much for commerical use, but geese, one framed picture over a fireplace? That's a rediculous price for that use. Bruce. > > $330 is just 214 Euro. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Bruce. Bruce - you may be able to get permission to use the picture for free, by sending a request to the church itself ? > I think that site said their file was "licensed" so I assumed at some point > they had legal access. Not necessarily. I doubt the Vatican grants photography permits for the Sistine chapel. > Perhaps that's why it's so expensive.

So the plan was to do my own cropping and getting an online panorama printing site to make a photo to fit this frame, which is why I need the file. But it's looking like that plan is a wash now.

Perhaps that's why it's so expensive. So, essentially what you're writing Burce is that you don't wish to pay for a small fraction of what it would cost for you to go and take the photo yourself? You'd have to go to the Vatican, organise a licenced photo shoot, return home and pay for the whole expedition. Easily costing in the thousands, even if it's possible in the first place. > I can > understand charging that much for commerical use, but geese, one framed > picture over a fireplace? That's a rediculous price for that use. There is nothing besides your word that you're only going to print a single copy for a specific usage.

I think 1971 ... and photography was most certainly allowed. Flash and tripods were not, but I was allowed to take a photo of the ceiling using my 4x5 view camera lying on the floor.

The same argument says a slinky should cost several thousand dollars because it would cost me at least that to make myself. Children of the world would be very disappointed. > There is nothing besides your word that you're only going to print a > single copy for a specific usage. The photo sites ask for usage, number of copies, how it will be displayed, and several other details, and they take your word for it, but none that I've seen have "personal 1 time use" as a menu pick. They all assume commerical use, and price accordingly. > BTW: What have geese ever done to you, are their feathers not warm enough > in your doona? I think I meant jeeze. Pick your spelling. Bruce.

Let me add that once I received an offer from an Egyptian company. I would have had to shoot photos for them in Egypt. In exchange for the photos they would have paid my accomodation in Egypt, but would not have paid my flight to Egypt, other travel expenses and daily fees.
