My ever sneaky girlfriend decided to surprise me for my birthday and get one of my old photos printed out on canvas.

I am amazed how good it looks! Its one of my photos from Guthega taken with my old canon G3 ... So 4 M pix scaled to larger than A3!

and to give an idea of the size ...

I'll try and find out where she had it printed later.

Looks fantastic..got to love the old g series cameras..I still use my g2.

Dave - looks BRILLIANT !!!!

What a lovely gf you have Would definitely love to know where she got it printed... I don't s'pose we can get an idea of price though ..... that's something you probably shouldn't know

I used to have the old G2 - they were definitely a good little camera !!!

That is a brilliant idea Dave. A friend of mine was asked by one of his friend to take a close-up picture of a particular tree with his new D200 and to his surprise transferred it to canvas , similar to what your girlfriend did, as according to him it turned out even better. Apart from this I really like the original and I think it's a fabulous photo regardless.

Brilliant!! Thats definately a great B'day present!!

She had a great starting point with a magnignificant photograph.

Looks great.

Magic Dave!

Very nice Dave, nothing like having 1 of your pics hanging on the wall and such a nice pic as well.

Thanks everyone!

It is one of my favorite shots, so she chose well

Turns out it was printed by <a href="http://www.brilliantprints.com.au/">brilliantprints</a>, I'm sure I have seen them mentioned here before ....

the print is 16 x 24" but I'm not allowed to check the prices yet

and just because, here is the original shot!

I'm actually headed to Guthega next weekend so maybe I will be lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time again ... this time with the D70.

Without discussing the prices I was down at harvey norman yesterday and saw they did canvas prints there too. I don't know how the quality compares but their prices seem a little cheaper than the above place

I'll check that out a little later ... if they are cheaper I might have to get some more printed!

But I'd say that hardly norman's prints are not stretched.

That's a great shot to being with Dave and the canvas here works a treat.
I've checked brillianprints out before and their prices are quite reasonable so have no fear buddy .
