Here's an 8foot wide MetalPrint from Bay Photo, just hung it today. Wow, it's so beautiful (shameless self promotion, yes!).

    Is that really 8'? Looks more like 5'. headscratch.gif

    Anyway, looks great Andy. I've got a 20x30 metal hanging in my entry hallway that looks great too.

    Oh I see what's going on. Looking at your EXIF, this is 24mm on a FF body, so there's some perspective distortion going on. Otherwise you'd be 10' tall as compared to the 8' picture. rolleyes1.gif

    Great shot. I am not sure which I am more jealous of, working barefoot and in non-"formal" clothes, the dual monitors, or the print. I am beginning to think I want to be Andy when I grow up.

    rolleyes1.gifI was thinking lots of that but didn't say. In the end... there is take
    shoes off and go with it. Sweet grass underfoot. Should you have sweet
    cool grass. Otherwise leave shoes on and go with it. Shoes off when you can :D

    I love the setup! May I ask what dimensions exactly that you went with and if this is the single metal print? I've been wanting to use Bay Photo for some time now for my wedding picture but I wasn't sure how to know if the photogs specs would be good enough for print quality this size.

    It's 8' wide by about 30" high. This is a single MetalPrint, float mounted. This hot is made up from about 30 Canon 5D Mark II files (it's a stitched panorama) so there's a huge amount of resolution (it could go much, much bigger).

    Smug Cap? What ever is to the left of your feet. I've not a clue what that is. Your missing Pokey .. he never goes anywhere without Gumby :cry

    You do have the photo sheet on your left screen that I recieved from Smug thumb.gif

    What are the other 2 extras? Have me curious now.

    I am jealous.................Great image................metal print...WOW.....dual monitors.......................

    (I am going to whisper this because I don't want the others to hear. Are your super duper dual monitors color calibrated or are you ill? Your skin tones seem a little on the yellow side.) You could fix this before anyone notices. :D

    I am still jealous, yellow skin and all.

    I'm not gonna bother, just a fun shot... it's just the recessed lighting there.

    That would explain the size of his feet.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
