This site is one of a suite of photography sites being built and published early in 2009. Other sites in the suite are listed on the Other Photography Sites page of this web site.

We are not solely interested in our photography. You may have quality photographs of your pets taken with film cameras or digital cameras. We are interested in the photographic products we can produce, particularly quality fine art canvas prints and our silver halide paper prints. We are happy to produce these with our photos or with yours. Digital media can be e-mailed to us. Negative film or positive transparencies (colour slides) can be mailed to be scanned with our high resolution scanner.

Our prints are made on quality Kodak Matt Enduro Paper. They are silver halide prints ..., not ink jet!

What are silver halide prints?

Before the days of digital photography, film was developed and prints were made on light sensitive paper coated with silver halide. This process was slow and relatively expensive compared with modern ink jet printers, which are generally used today to make prints. However, the end result were prints of far greater quality than can ever be obtained with any printer. Ink prints do not have the same colour intensity and ink will eventually fade and your precious photographs will deteriorate.

Our prints are produced on a Kodak machine which converts the digital image onto light sensitive silver halide coated paper. These machines are not yet in common use as they cost around the $200,000.00 mark each. The results though are far superior.

These quality prints will cost:

6X4 $3.00 per print ($2.00 each if five or more)

7X5 $5.00 per print ($3.50 each if five or more)

8X12 $12.00 per print ($10 each if five or more)

Eight inch by twelve inch is an ideal size for framing, and economically priced frames for this standard size are available in all the major department and discount stores. The matt finish on our enduro prints will not stick to the glass in frames like glossy prints often do.

We are also happy to provide silver halide prints of your digital photos if you would like them done. However, we would need a minimum of 36 taken with the same camera in the same conditions at any one time for both the 6X4 and the 7X5 prints. (we do make corrections for contrast and brightness etc., but only once for the batch). The cost per print will depend on the quantities ordered. Please contact us for details.

The 8X12 prints are processed individually, and orders of one or more will be accepted for this size.

You pets pictures can also be made into quality art canvas prints. I purchase the finest quality art canvas and print on it with my 760 mm Roland Versa Cam flat bed printer. You will not find better quality art canvas prints anywhere.

I believe that art canvas prints need to be big and bold, and I prefer to produce finished prints that are large 620 mm X 400 mm and extra large, 820 mm X 620 mm.

Even with my superb quality, my prices are still very competitive. The art canvas prints can be supplied in a cylinder for you to stretch and frame yourself, or your prints can be produced on a stretcher frame ready for hanging. Here are my prices:

820 mm X 620 mm on a stretcher frame ready to hang $180

820 mm X 620 mm rolled canvas in a cylinder $110

620 mm X 400 mm on a stretcher frame ready to hang $120

620 mm X 400 mm rolled canvas in a cylinder $75

The above two sizes are my favourite sizes, however prints can be made any size that you wish (provided they are within the limitations of my printer). For pricing on alternate sizes please go to my Art Canvas Print web site. www.artcanvasprints.ws
