Gotta Toot The Horn!
Just wanted to show off a Canadian Deal I've been working for some time now! Click Here http://www.picturethisongranite.com/main.html go to Product Application…..Buildings……and at the bottom right click on the Residential and ‘Voila’
The image you see above is actually etched on granite then Hand colored and mounted. :biggrin: This has been a fun project!

Congrats James. What format are these shots in? 35mm? Also, how big are they blown up? The one in the Cafe/Bar looks especially large. How do they look up close?

Wow,

Great Job James!!! Very stunning presentation. :biggrin: :cool:

The best way to look at this, is to think of it as sculpture. It will not be as tack sharp as a high def print, yet the texture and contrast between the black and smooth granite and that of the laser etched and brightly colored area of the scene make this wonderfully unique.


BTW, the images were digitally captured on the Nikon D70 6.1 mp and can be printed quite large in this new format. Up to 10 ft tall and who knows how wide.
