Not a very good (old) photo, but interesting from what can be seen in the reflection in my daughter's eye... me and our picnic. The detail is quite amazing really! You can even see carrot in a Tupperware box! Click to enbiggen!

Lol , at first i read the title as Extremely Amateur Pornography zuzuzzuzuuzuzu Strike one! I was waiting for someone to mis-read the title of this thread. It was bound to happen. Not a very good (old) photo, but interesting from what can be seen in the reflection in my daughter's eye... me and our picnic. The detail is quite amazing really! You can even see carrot in a Tupperware box! That's a cool photo, Neil! Love the reflection aspect. I take it that was accidental and not intentional? Either way,

That's a beaut of a pic, Neil! I seem to recall it from a post a few years ago (IIRC), a very unforgettable style of imagery.

That's a cool photo, Neil! Love the reflection aspect. I take it that was accidental and not intentional? Either way, Certainly wasn't intending the reflection. The lighting wasn't very good so I was nearly going to bin it, until I realised how much was captured in that eye!

Well, it just goes to show, sometimes photos we think are going to be "meh" turn out to be gems in disguise. In fact, just about every photo I take feels "meh" and it isn't until much later when I pull the pictures off my camera I think, "well, that one isn't too bad.."

Great shots Aces!! And Core too, I always find it interesting getting a glimpse into the lives of people who do dangerous or interesting things for a living: that third pic is awesome! Here's a few I snapped while out for a stroll around Glasgow this beautiful autumn afternoon/evening: EDIT: Looks like some of those were too wide for the forum, but I'm not sure what the BB Code is to set image size. Anyone know?

[Neil]

RE size, you can scroll across from the bottom of your post! That sneaky squirrel is kick ass

That's Arkham City, not Glasgow.

Nice pics, everyone! Keep 'em coming.. I wanted to share this today as I'm pretty excited. I have always wanted a few of my photos (y'know, the 1% that actually turn out really good! ) on canvas. Problem is, I never knew where to get it done - and the few places I did find locally that I could get it done were expensive as all get out. Not worth the $ if you ask me. Then, I found EasyCanvasPrints.com - and let me tell ya, they do great work. No, I'm not affiliated with them, I just think they do awesome work, so I don't mind promoting them for others who might have the same interest in getting some canvas prints. The photo below, if you've been following this thread, is one of my North Carolina/Blue Ridge Mountains photos that I have already posted. It's always been one of my favorites, and I thought about how cool it would be to put it on canvas and put it on the wall of our vacation place in West Virginia. Well, I found easycanvasprints.com and ordered one, just to see the quality of their work and if it would be worthwhile to order more since their prices are reasonable. Here's what I got in the mail yesterday - and while it's hard to tell the quality of the print from a camera phone shot of it, trust me, it really is good quality: This is a 16x20 canvas print (3/4 inch thick, but it can also be ordered in 1.5" thickness if you really want that "Gallery" look - I didn't for reasons I'll explain later) I got and it cost me $44 USD. Not bad if you ask me. I actually got it 1/2 price because I found a coupon code online, just google 'easycanvasprints.com coupon code' and you'll find them everywhere (DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE for any of these, they can be had for a lot less w/the coupon codes!), and for me, it was totally worth it. The reason I didn't get the 1.5" thickness is for convenience later down the road. One of my friends at work is an artist, and he was telling me that finding frames - if I ever decided to frame it - are much easier and a lot less expensive to find for the 3/4 inch thickness rather than the 1.5 inch. I guess because not many people frame a 1.5" thick canvas print. They even sent me TWO $10 gift cards with my print! Bonus! If you subscribe to their email newsletter, you get terrific deals - in fact, my next print I'm going to order will be a 18x23 inch, and with the sale they have going on now, it'll cost $34.99 USD with FREE shipping. WOOT! Their prices are reasonable (with coupon codes - go scour the internet, they're everywhere), their quality of work is fantastic, and there's nothing quite like having one of your favorite photos on canvas to hang on your wall. I will be ordering more from them soon and will post pics as I get them.

Here's what I got in the mail yesterday - and while it's hard to tell the quality of the print from a camera phone shot of it, trust me, it really is good quality: Pretty goddamn cool, Lou! Reasonable prices to boot! I may look into something like that down the line.

[LouCipherr]

Pretty goddamn cool, Lou! Reasonable prices to boot! I may look into something like that down the line. I just had the black & white pic of my late border collie Cirrus (I think I've posted it already in this thread) put on a 18"x23" canvas by the same people. It turned out even more stellar than the first one of the North Carolina mountains! If you decide to get one Aces, make sure you google for online coupon codes. There's lots of them out there, and you can reduce the price of each canvas up to 40%. As I said before, the company sent me a few $10/off gift cards too, so if anyone is interested in saving $10 on their next canvas print, hit me up. I can help a brother out.
