Weekly Poll: Do you have any of your pictures hanging in your house?

[jetrask]

I have several of my photos hanging in my house. I live in 'cowboy' country so have lots of neat shots to choose from.

I got my camera just before Christmas, and got a printer (just a 4x6 print) for Christmas. I have yet to even print anything out that I've taken.

I've never taken or sent digital prints anywhere to be printed either. So far, all my photos are just on the computer and I'm the only one who looks at them, except for the few I've uploaded to post in forums.

I only get like an hour a day on the computer. I have too many photos of the kids to sort through, select, edit, and print.

yes ma'am. I find that it serves to inspire me to have my own pics up. I can see how far I've progressed in my photography and it gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

It also helps for getting potential clients too. When people come to my home, they see my photos and want to know who took them. When I say, "I did!" several people sign up for a portrait session that same day!

I don't have any up yet but certainly plan to. I've only had my camera for less than a month so I'm working on it.

Well I'm not in a hous at the minute I am in University accomodation. But I have got plenty of photos on my walls...Mostly of my friends. But when I do eventually get my own place I think it would be lovely to have photos about, not matter now abstract

I posted a pano shot on DPS prior to Christmas last year (here) that a recieved a lot of positive feedback.



Well I had it printed on canvas and mounted on a block frame and gave it to my wife for Christmas. She had been hinting for a nice photo or other artform to hang on the wall over our bed so i had the picture printed to the right size, 1700mm wide x appx 500mm high.

Here's where it hangs.



I also did a smaller picture for the mother in law of New Zealand Pohutakawa flowers in bloom and had it mounted as well, although much smaller
Here tis, it's a 5 shot macro panorama as I wanted to capture the equisite detail of the Pohutakawa blossom.



If you look real close on the full sized version, you will see a tiny white grub about 1/3 of the way in from the left and up from the bottom, close to the in focus grey buds. The grub would be no more than about 3 or 4 mm on size. See if you can find it.

Thanks Nicole, I used The Photoshed in Onehunga, a stones throw for where I live. Found him in the Photographers Mail. He's not the cheapest but is very fussy and did a great job.

My thing to remember for next time is to allow a bit more photo length/width as I lost about 75mm all the way around the image. Could have added a black border but I wanted the image to wrap around the edge of the frame.
