VicSkimmr, they can be enlarged because they're not being printed at the native 240dpi, it's a lower resolution. This works out well with the medium, it cannot physically produce such a high resolution, and they're not meant to be viewed inches away anyways.

 

Jeremai, the ink is being directly printed onto the wood, it's a process similar to the aluminum prints. I'm not moving away from aluminum prints, I just didn't want to overuse the medium. It's a big part of the Rail Yard series: metal box cars, metal prints. I thought printing on wood would provide an interesting juxtaposition with derelict manmade facades being reproduced on an organic material. I was planning on printing them large scale like the Rail Yard show, but I'm starting to consider producing lower priced medium scale pieces, with the potential to show perhaps twice as many photographs.

 

I have so many images in the new series that I may also produce a photo book, since I cannot possibly produce or share all of them as individual prints.

I spent this past weekend exploring along Oak Creek in Sedona, Arizona. I went out on some long walks with my Fujifilm X-Pro1, taking my 18mm lens some times, and other times my 35mm lens.

My girlfriend and I were in Ohio last week visiting family, out for a late afternoon walk. We were amazed at how beautiful the light is out there and how green everything is, we're used to the harsh desert sun where we live. I call this "American Gothic"

How are you liking using Tumblr? I tried it and couldn't get used to it. I'm considering using it again to showcase my photography.

It's definitely unusual, I'm not sure how to tap into the social community there, but they seem to find my work one way or another. I'm not too concerned with that however, I suppose I just enjoy the simplicity of it. I can use it as a place to collect my photography from the various online services I use, namely Flickr and Instagram, and additionally upload some obscure images that I might not post on other services anyways. A repository of some sort.

 

I'd say go for it, it's pretty hassle free, and it's free.

Nice shooting Tex.

Hey, I'm looking at printing some landscape work on wood and am anxiously awaiting a few sample prints to arrive. Can you provide some detail on the warping you experienced? What size, thickness and type of wood? Did you find a suitable way to seal that prevented it?

 

TIA

yeah I've been doing the same, it's a great way to spend time waiting for it to warm up / days get longer

Very nice, Chris.

 

Saving up for a DSLR, hope to get some hints here on NR for both reef and rest of the world photography.

 

Your composition really seems to strike a chord me me and th others whose comments I have read.

Thanks! I usually hike early in the morning, it was cool to go so late in the day. I took so many photos I ended up hiking the last mile by moonlight. Luckily there was a full moon! I've been slacking on my photography, this reminded me why I enjoy it so much, and why I love my Fuji X100!
