LK155 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Just prior to PSPIV, I posted some pix my son shot back in July (title: Guitars as Art). They turned out so well that I wanted to get a few of them printed and mounted so that they could be displayed in my luxurious lower-level man-cave/office/music room. This is the first resultant print. When asked for his opinion, the photographer chose this shot as being the most balanced, the best exposed, and the most esthetically pleasing of the many he took that day. Who's to argue? The image is about 13" by 20", was printed on glossy paper, and then mounted on pressboard (Plak'ing, it's called up here), with a glossy finish. It's ready to hang on the wall; no framing required. Cost, you ask? Well, let's see: two years of college for the diploma in photography, three years of university for an honors bachelor degree in graphic design, several flights back and forth from school to home, a couple of very expensive Nikons, and a used car later, I figure I've got about ........well, let's just say it's a big number invested in this. The good news is that the second and subsequent ones will cost-average down to the point where they become reasonable. (Well, OK, it would need about 2000 of them printed to get to the 'reasonable' point.) But damn, they're nice photographs. So here's the end result, beside the real thing..............a 2001 H155............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 You can tell that's an excellent shot, even the picture of the picture looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Nice, Lyle. I assume you are having one done on the 535, too? You should be proud of your son's skills, and relieved you are done supporting his education! haha. He did a great, job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 People have spent more on their kids and got back less. That would look good on any wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushover Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Value of having a custom work of Art hanging on your wall, coming from a talent that you nurtured = Priceless You can't unspend what you've already spent, but this seems like a pretty good investment to me. Before you know it you'll be looking for a more prominent place to show it, other than the private man cave. Then again.. you might just want to get a plaque for the photo that says: "I fed my kid for 20 years, payed for his college, furnished all of his equipment and even bought him a car, and all I got in return was this photo!"
