Purchasing good quality photo's

[khamill]

I am interested in good quality cave diving photos to place in a frame and hang on a wall at my home, I am looking for 25" x 30" or larger sizes and I don't want to spend a small fortune! If anyone has access or would like to sell me a portion of thier collection please call me. I am looking for Ginnie, Little River local cave photo's.

I forwarded this to the team that did the cave photos on my website. They have your contact info if they're interested. You can check out some of their work here.... http://www.ultimatecavediving.com/cave-photos1.html

Contact Nick Ambrose on this forum. he made a 2012 Mexico Cave Calendar that is currently hanging on my wall and it has some amazing photos. He also said he can make them bigger.

Here is a link to the thread about the calendar.

For you to enlarge a typical photo, what do I need to ask for, from the photographer for your print shop to print good photos large. What is the minimum pixel size you need for 20" x 30" let's say? What would you charge me?

Wow, thank you .

20-30 meg pixel raw image is perfered for large reprints.
I have done some 10-12 mp with ok results, but may be grainy up close.

your image on glossy photo paper 24x30 size.
1-2 prints each = $50
3-4 prints each =$ 45
more = $40

free cave county delivery or fedex for $10
price also includes 15min editing.

FYI, I print out several 13x19 photos for friends and family each year, and by the time they are framed and matted, the total size is usually around 23"x29".

So when get your 24x30 photo framed it will likely be 34x40 or even larger. Also, it can be hard to find a frame that big without going to a frame shop. That will cost you $100 minimum. (As compared to Target, where you can get a decent 18x24 frame for $25)

very true framing is very expensive, this is why i have moved to canvas wraped prints for my house.
by the time you pay for matting and framing you could spend over $300 for one print, I know i have.

I use 100year museum quality canvas with a semi gloss sealer.
it has a very 3d feeling with texture that realy makes cave diving pictures pop.
and I figure by the time you break it down, its actualy cheaper. beacause your not having to pay any other expences, you just hang it.
