More Photobooks
This is another service that I have used. Viovio produce photo books as well. I don’t think the quality is quite as good as Mpix (see post below), but the price is much better especially if you are going to produce in quantity. They also allow you to set up a store and sell it as a print-on-demand product, so you don’t have to buy a bunch up front. You can just send your family and friends the link, and they can order what they want. I really like their big hardcover portfolio book. The paper is not as heavy weight as I would have liked it, but I loved the size and how it laid flat.
Photograph
I took this photograph at Camp Orr. Camp Orr is a Boy Scout camp in Northwest Arkansas. I used to go there as a kid every summer. I still remember hiking to Twin Falls and playing in the water at the base. Twin Falls is a part of the Buffalo River Watershed.
I took this photo a couple of years ago while I was up there taking a weekend photography class from Tim Ernst. I had a great time and learned a tremendous amount from an incredible photographer. If you have never had the opportunity to see his photography slideshows, they are spectacular. I saw his photos from Yellowstone and his presentation of Arkansas waterfalls. They are all put to music and shown on an high-definition projector.
This photograph is actually 5 shots taken at different exposures. I then used Photomatix to put them together, and later I brought them into Photoshop for finetuning. Some people don’t like these photos because the are unrealistic. I am obviously not going for realism. I enjoy how the post-production brings out the vibrant colors and the different light effects. I hope you enjoy it.
