What Prints are for Sale?
All of our prints in the “Gallery” are for sale. These images have been sized to achieve the best image print, and the best recommended sizes are listed next to the image title. Please see “How to find the best print size” below.
Also, If you see an image in the “Travel Gallery” that you might like a print of, please use the “Contact Me” page providing the name of the print, and the gallery it is in, as well as the size print you would like. We will review the print, size it, include it in our Fine Art Gallery for purchase, and notify you by email.
How to find the best print size?
In photography you can take a horizontal image or a vertical image, and then you can adjust the image in post processing. As such, from image to image, the actual the size of the image can be different. The challenge is finding the print size that best fits the image, so if you have an image that measures 8.5 by 12.7 inches and you want an 8X12 print, some part of the image might be lost. As indicated above, images included in the Fine Art Gallery have been adjusted in Photoshop to be close to the native Aspect Ratio size which in the example above would be 8X12.
To make it easier for you, we have listed our recommended best print sizes next to the title of the image. So if you choose an image with the title “Fall Colors 8×12,10×15,12×18,16×24, 20×30, 24×36” this would indicate that any of these print sizes will capture the whole image.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Getting the best Quality Print
The other issue we need to address is image quality. Every image has a certain density measured in pixels per inch and in printing we want to limit how much we stretch that density to maintain a good quality image print. We feel the image density of our gallery images will support the range of sizes offered.
If you see an image and want a print of a certain size which is not listed, please contact us so we can determine if the size you want is recommended. The final decision is always yours. If you want something different, use the “Contact Me” page to let us know your thoughts and we will try to accommodate your decision.
Photographic Prints & Mounted Photographic Prints
Photographic Prints are printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Professional Papers in a Lustre or Glossy finish.
We also offer Mounted Prints, that can be mounted on a 3mm Styrene backing or on a 3/4″ Black Standout backing.
Styrene is made from plastic, is light weight but it is not susceptible to warping. It does not include any hanging option.
The 3/4inch Black Standout is sleek and slightly textured and is a black plastic edging that encases lightweight foam. It arrives ready to display or hang with pre-drilled holes on the backside of the block
