How to Get or Buy the Panoramic Images
All the images are Copyright © 1998-2000 by Brad Templeton. However, for the images in the "rest of" category, you can print them without charge for personal use. You'll need a printer that can do panoramics. Most Epson printers will print to 44" long if you have long paper. You can get long paper from Red River Papers and others. You can also get a house like EZPrints to output the picture. This is what I recommend, and what I use for my own walls. The price is very good and the quality quite decent up to around 250 pixels/inch. You can also get prints done on a local house that has a printer such as the LightJet or Lambda. Output quality is excellent but "limited" to 96 inches. To get the full resolution image, send me E-mail to me at photo@templetons.com. Please note you will receive an anti-spam challenge when you mail this address. Just send any reply and the mail is forwarded. Quality ImagesThe images on the "best of" pages require a payment. I'm keeping it low to start -- $20 per print on most of them, $30 on the Toronto/CN Tower, Silicon Valley and Monument Valley Poster, and $40 on either of the super-long Burning Man shots. Printing costs are your own responsibility. They run from $2/foot for six inch high panoramas to $5/foot for foot high panoramas. Thus The 1998 Burning Man, 21 feet by 1 foot, would cost you $105 to print plus $40 royalty fee to me. To purchase an image send E-mail to photo@templetons.com. See the note above about the spam filter. Payment accepted by Check, or if desired Visa/Mastercard via PayPal. FramingI've been impressed with the value at American Frame. They send frames via UPS in custom sizes, and the prices are less than half, sometimes less than 1/4 of the price at the storefront custom framing shops. I have framed most of my own images using their frames. It's a bit more work to do it yourself, but the savings are tremendous. I've found their economy metal frame "Radius Plus" to look great. If you do want to frame one of my pictures, I get a small cut of the frame price if you use the link above. However, I picked this site because I use them myself, not for the cut. Do make sure you have a good way to mount the picture on the backing board. Either their sticky backing board, or spray-on photo adhesive with a rubber roller. If you want them to make the frame for you with plexi, mat board and backing foamcore, it's limited to a total of length + width <= 54 inches. You can get frames up to 8 feet long, but then you will have to buy plexi and backing board at a local place like TAP plastics, which can also go up to 8 feet long. These frames need some strengthening. |
