Great Christmas Idea

Christmas is coming up quickly and that can only mean one dilemma.
What shall I get Caroline this year for Christmas?

Finally I thought of giving Caroline a large canvas print of a picture taken at one of the places we have visited when we were traveling for 10 months through Australia New Zealand and America together. From over two thousand digital photos I narrowed it down to around eight in the end. I couldn't just order any canvasprint as we have to like them both and it is her present after all.

Caroline narrowed those eight down to four. I wanted to give her an A1 size canvas so it wouldnt look lost on the wall but that became an A1 canvas and 1 panoramic in the end. Give her an inch and.... (just kidding).

Rick (the printer) helped us in the end choose from those four pictures which would work best when enlarged. And also informed us to what size enlargement they would still make a nice result. (That's when you realize it was false economy not to make those holiday shots in the highest resolution possible, just because you wanted to save some more space on your memorycard.)

The whole process of ordering went very quick from emailing the initial photos on Sunday evening, getting feedback to ordering them Monday evening and have the A1 in by Wednesday and the panoramic on Thursday. If you shop around you will find that the price isn't too bad either. Therefore I can higly recommend him: Rick's Printshop

In the end Caroline choose these pictures both of Sydney:



Why Sydney?
Hopefuly this will be our home again as soon as our visa come through
sometime in 2007.
