framed
31st-jul-2008 - posted by dtra
that was fast, took it in on tuesday, and the guy rang me tonight and i was able to pick up the framed picture tonight. it looks good, i think pretty much anything in a nice frame like this would look pretty good. the picture is lacking a bit of contrast, my main issue being that the light rays don't seem to be as clear nearer the bottom. i just have to work out where i'm gonna put it now i guess, don't know if i really want it hanging over my bed like in the picture (which by the way, is purely to show the size, also there is still a plastic wrap around it which i need to remove). i know where i'm gonna put it when i move out (haha), just not right now.
i reckon next time i'm gonna get a slightly smaller canvas print, it'll be smaller, yes, and pricier, but they look freakin' awesome. a little off topic now, i was driving home from basketball, and all these sporty cars (read rice) were lined up on the inside lane for some reason, then when i drove past, they started driving slowly. they never really took off or anything, they were following me for a little bit, then they all just disappeared. it was like i had driven onto the set of a cheap fast and the furious knock off or something.
and finally, back to the picture, yes, it's a crap upload here (the white balance is stuffed, and it's crooked, etc), but it'll look good hanging up on the wall when i get around to it.

canvas is about twice the price, but you don't need as many pixels, and it does look really good, but it's exposed (no glass protection), definitely worth it if you have a good picture, they're really good decorations.

oh actually, canvas is cheaper i reckon, the guy i went to said it's $165 or something for everything (20"x30", this print is 24"x36" ), that's printed and mounted, the frame cost $189 by itself.
