 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking to have a ski/snow based theme on the walls in one of my rooms at home. I'm not particularly good at interior design or recognising 'quality' art, I just know what I think looks nice. I quite like old school resort adverts/posters. I also have a thing for maps too.
Any recommendations on where to look.
I saw these a while back and quite like the texture... http://petecaswell.co.uk/wp2/skiing-snowboard-prints-for-sale/

For photos I like some of the stuff from Reuben Krabbe, although I don't think he officially sells it, just tells people to contact him via email whenever they ask how to buy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I was tempted by the pictures by Mark Richards in Whistler. He uses a combination of photograph and painting, and as a result the pictures can be produced in various sizes. Some even use paint techniques that allow the pictures to change depending on how they are lit.

@SnoodlesMcFlude, thanks, will have a look.
Of course another option is to look through all our own photos.

I got one printed on aluminium for in the surgery at work, found a decent stock photo of Val D, paid for high res version, uploaded to a nice man somewhere and a few days later a dirty great thing arrived. Perfect. Will look at the Whistler stuff for the other wall!

Thanks all. Will have a look at the suggestions.
@LaForet, yes I’ve got thousands of photos, I’ll have a look through them. Used to carry a bridge camera with me, then a compact camera and now just rely on my phone.

You know it makes sense.

@LaForet, I like the last picture. The snow seems to add some graininess - almost like you took it on ISO800 !

@hammerite, as for Maps I have the smaller of these. I have it framed and mounted but with no glass so that I can put little round headed pins in for everywhere I have been.

@motyl, @Bones, thank you!
@Bones, I'm also a fan of Grant Gunderson - I liked him from ages ago when he was posting a lot on TGR (maybe he still does, I follow them a lot less).

It was more fortuitous than deliberate. I did use a higher ISO because in the forest the light was so low, but the shutter speed was just right to get a bit of 'streaking' of the snowflakes (they were really big flakes as well, which always makes for a more 'snowy' shot). There's a bit of post-processing using Photoshop to get more detail out of what were just shadows. A day when I was glad I bothered to cart 'round a couple of kilos of DSLR (Canon EoD 5D Mk.III & 24-70mm f2.8 L II ESM zoom) and when an f2.8 lens gives payback for the weight/cost.
