 | PRODUCT TYPES AVAILABLE
Each image is available in one or more product types, including: standard prints, panoramic prints, greeting cards, and bookmarks. These are described below. Each image may be available in a unique set of product types, and available product types are indicated in the descriptive text with each photograph. Prints may be purchased as a rolled print or as a framed photograph. Greeting cards and bookmarks are available online in multi-unit sets, as indicated on the Order link.
Standard Format
Standard format implies that the ratio of the short dimension to the long dimension is from 1 to 1.5, or so. For example, a 4x5 in. film is 4 units on the short dimension by 5 units on the long dimension, for a ratio of 1.25. This was a common, hence classic, ratio in photography for a long time. More recently, 35mm and smaller digital cameras ratios have been available in the 1.5 range. When the long dimension is significantly longer than the short dimension, the photograph may be termed panoramic.
Most standard format prints are available as prints, greeting cards, and bookmarks.
Panorama Format
One day I will invest in a good panoramic camera. In the meantime, one of the techniques I've found interesting is the use of software to stitch photographs together to create panoramic photographs. Stitching can be a "cheap" way to create these images, as the software is relatively inexpensive. One advantage of the stitching technique is that it can be used with medium and large format film to create, well, pretty good sized panoramas. Another advantage is that it makes possible a very wide format image, up to 360 degrees. While this technique would seem to require a static subject, this is not always the case, as illustrated by these rapids. One decided disadvantage of my current technique is that the software sometimes has trouble doing a "perfect" stitch. Currently I live within the capabilities of the process, but continue to work on improvements.
Panoramas may be short or long, depending on subject matter. Short panoramas may be available as greeting cards and bookmarks.
Greeting Cards
All standard format images and many panoramas are available as greeting cards. Greeting cards are printed on heavy stock photo paper, then signed and folded to fit into a 5x7 in. envelope. Both the card and envelope are sealed in a cellophane envelope.
Bookmarks
Most images are available as bookmarks. Bookmarks are printed on heavyweight paper and vary in size depending on the image format. Bookmarks are available in multiples of 12 on-line.
