    What's Your Biggest Print?
    What is the biggest one of your images has ever been enlarged? Well I recently set my personal record. I took some photographs for a reading festival that is coming up later this month. One of the images was used for a billboard. It's what they call a mini billboard and I think the size is about 5x11 feet. I had done the photos for free since it is a function for the local library and the school system and one of my wife's projects at work. All I ask for was photo credit, which it my suprise I got. Here is the billboard and the orginal image.

    Other than this my biggest is 16x20. And I've done several of those over the years.

    Rick your star trail pictures are one of the things that hooked me on PR several years ago. Love them.

    This was a four generation family photo. The whole idea was to promote the family reading together. The Reading Festival will have events for all ages with authors doing readings of their books and lots of activities for the younger readers.

    I did a 20 x 30 poster last year for one of my few paid jobs. I've printed more and more 11 x 14 prints over the last few years, though. I find that when I print them I get bored with them pretty quick and they never hang for long.

    About your print, though: I think it is awesome you got on a billboard. That you did it free for a good cause is icing on the cake. Maybe you could find a way to credit the commerical value of a billboard shot on your taxes as a charitable contribution -- I would think a professional would charge a few thousand.

    It's also a very nice photo. Bravo.

    Congratulations on joining those who've been shown in "Large Scale"! I've had a few billboards and been involved with Semi-Trailer artwork. I regularly have 1m square images for display run on one of the big ink-jets. (There's one in my gallery but at much smaller scale)

    The part though I bet you really like is seeing your name at that size! :D

    Good shot and congratulations - even if they did pick a French Children's book!

    All I ask for was photo credit, but I never figured that It would be that prominent. Never can tell that might add up to a little more business somewhere down the line.

    Well this isn't like a quality print or anything, but I did think it was kind of neat to see my photo used that big.

    16X20 in one photo, but i also did a series of nightime shots of the sydney harbour bridge and opera house at night during the 2000 olympics that depicts them with different coulours being projected onto them so i had 4 shots with different colouring marking the changes printed as 4 landscape 8x12s and mounted together - does that qualify as 1 image? it is about 18x45

    16" X 20" shot at 1/8 second handheld from the top of a "not so solid" building in Montreal at dusk.
