Thanks
Ordering some prints on different types of paper to see how they look, trying out some Fuji supergloss, Fuji matte, and Kodak metallic. Place I'm ordering also has lots of mounting options, but I reckon foamex might be the best one. I'll still ask my sisters boyfriend, being a professional photographer and all, he'll know what to go for.

whats in there currently ? does it look good? nothing wrong with using similar techniques for frames as the previous works if it looks good, could help if u posted some pics of the location / wall space you got because things look totally different in every situation

Well it's a club so the lighting isn't great and the walls are dark, so I'm leaning towards white foamex mounts, which'll be easy to set up with velcro. I might try to build some custom LED lights to attach to the tops of them to light them up. I'm not yet sure how much wall space I'm getting, waiting on the organisers to tell me, once they know how many people want to exhibit work.

ahh cool should post a picture of it once its up i like seeing how people lay stuff out its cool...
remember if its a club don't expect to get it back in 1 piece if its anything like the clubs i goto

Kodak metallic paper is odd, some prints looked crap on it, another one looked great. Everything looked good on matte paper though. Image I printed on the supergloss wasn't great, need a much more colourful subject to get the best out of that paper I think.

how much is the matte compared to the others then?

Matte and gloss are the same, supergloss and metallic are more expensive.


Just went down to Bayeux earlier, they said A3 prints would be fine with the 6MP files from my camera which seems fine. Also dropped off a few negs to get scanned while I get my scanner working I'll go collect 'em thursday, unless I can get the girlfriend to pick them up during her lunch break tommorow.
