You've Been Framed?

I had a print made. Then I put it in frame and impressed myself. Why? How?

Well as a Zenfolio user I got an offer from one of their print partners that was brilliant, less to get 10x8 prints than the cost of a small print in Boots, so I thought why not? I have recently taken a couple of night shots that looked pretty good on-screen so I sent those away to be printed. I know its blowing my own trumpet but I was pretty pleased with the results. Like most (now digital) photographers, I don't often see my more recent images in print.

We had a couple of frames left over from something so I took one of them and inserted a print, a night shot of St Paul's Cathedral in London. As i looked at it I struggled to remember the last time I saw a photo I've taken actually framed, in a decent photo frame. Must be years. I put it in our living room and then last night, having forgotten it was there, I went into the room and caught sight of it. I was impressed, although maybe I shouldn't say so again.

So, what has this got to do with a photo scanning service?

Have you thought of doing that with one of the photo we've scanned for you? One of the reasons we scan at 600 dpi is to give you enough photo data to be able to crop, edit and enlarge a print. So why not give it a go? OK, we're going against the modern grain but why not impress yourself with your own photo abilities with a simple print and frame combination.
