I bought a frame from Ikea and mounted the picture in the frame.
I had a little assistant to help me (or at least keep a 'whippet eye' on me).
The end result can be seen in this image. I sit next to Ruby on the settee to do my 365 ..she has a wide array of dog blankets in various colours :) ...I sometime have trouble typing cos she snuggles up to me !!!
Anyway I think at this point she is sort of saying ...oh no he's got that damn camera out again !!! I cheated a bit by calling her name as I clicked the shutter.
The image is a tad grainy because it's hand held with no flash !
Still running behind on my days (I keep saying that ..keep repeating it...am I repeating myself too much?!?)
The frame now hangs in our hall, replacing a picture I took a few years ago of a fishing trawler coming into the harbour at Ciutadella de Menorca ...followed by a load of seagulls...a 'contre jour' shot !!!
The framed print is awesome, Phil! Good job and a very nice photo of your assistant with it! LOL! Go ahead and repeat all you think you need to! I don't mind. =) As far as "dark"... open the cabinets, closets, drawers and fridge! You might be surprised what kind of pics you can get out of those!
great shot of a great shot! well worthy of a pride of place! Ruby looks teeny weeny...I know she's a whippet but I always imagine her being bigger! Maybe it's because she reminds me of our Milly who is a (for a female) large greyhound! I'm just thanksful of light airports at the moment - feels like I've not seen daylight for weeks!
That framed photo looks so good in it's frame, I think it gives a lot of punch being in B&W. What have you written underneath , just where it as taken etc ? You could pay big money for a print like that in the shops !! Juliette is right Ruby looks tiny & so black !!! ( but very cute!! )
That looks great Phil!! Looks like we are keeping Photobox in business. I've just done our photo calendar - much more flexibility this year but still a useless 'preview' so a couple aren't quite centred how I'd like & I just had a load of Christmas cards done as well.
@happypat thanks Pat, the writing is the title of the image and who took it ........it reads...... 'Under The Boardwalk : Photography By Phil Howcroft'
@judithg thanks Judith, I am thinking of doing a Photobox photobook, but you have to upload shed loads of imaged first and their interface / software seemed very clunky and slow
@phil_howcroft Much better than previous years but I'm going to try Blurb for my 365 photos - Photobox is much more expensive & in previous books the photos are quite grainy.
