photography guys - need some help

[evan9381]

trying to do a project for my living room. im trying to find a panoramic picture, preferrably black and white of a city skyline, that i can get printed out and cut into maybe 14-16 sections, frame them, and hang them above my couch

 

heres what i've got now

ive got the 2 pictures, but it just seems like i need a bit more to look right. i couldnt find any other pictures where i got those, and everything else i found was either a different size, different look, etc

 

so if i could find something i could get printed out at like 14" x 154" or 176" (give me 14 or 16, 11" wide pictures)

 

any ideas a) where i could get a decent resolution picture and b) where i could get something of such odd size printed?

you can look on flickr. I am sure you will find what you need there. maybe email the photographer about his/her photos

which i think would look sweet. now where could i get this printed 20x80 or 5 sections at 20x16?

While i understand the idea you have, but 14 pics is over kill..

 

Seriously..

 

Here are some better examples of what i assume the look you are going for is..

there is a program called rasterbator??? i think that you can take any pic and pull it in that program and then you can choose how many sqaures to make it, then print it right out on your printer.. i did it with a pic of my mustang one time.. turned out pretty neat

here is a video.. has the website on it etc etc.. you can see what i mean

I agree. I see what your going for but 14 pics might be a bit much. 3 large sized photos and maybe a bit of paint would look great. My mom does alot of this kind of shit and she always gives me advice.

not a great example, but you're describing something like this. it's a simple photoshop action.

i agree, thats why my last post said i realize i wont be able to get that done. the pic i posted in that link could give me 5 pics 20" tall and 16" wide, which i think would look cool, being such a wide picture, but wouldnt be as overkill as 14

 

going to hit up kinkos and a couple other places today to see what they can do

if your looking for city skyline images look for widescreen dual display wallpapers. you be able to fine some great shots.

What is this type of art called?

[evan9381]

dunno. i know i seem to like it though. lol

 

went and talked to my dad today, who's the family computer go-to guy. apparently his g/f works in a marketing department of something or another, and has the ability to print all these off for me. he said the issue im going to have is something about the picture being 72 DPI and when i try to blow it up to a 16x20 picture, its going to be a bit pixelated. since im getting the pics printed free, i guess i dont have much to lose.

if you contact the photographer you might beable to puchase the original. then you won't have to worry about dpi

Stay away from kinkos, just go to snapfish.com or adoramapix.com for cheap, high quality processing. Kinkos will overcharge you hard core.

[evan9381]

im waiting to see what i get out of the pics his g/f is printing out. he said she does it on "plotter" (??) paper

 

i dont know how to get ahold of the photographer for the original. my buddy said he found the pic on wikipedia
