July
2010 Skylands is now on Facebook -- www.Facebook.com/SkylandsPhotography
March 2010 New -- Collages & Digital
Downloads!
Beginning this year, you can order 8x10 or 11x14 collages in glossy or metallic format, right from
the web site. 8x10 collages include 3 or 4 photos of your choice, 11x14 collages include 4 to 6
photos of your choice. Both sizes allow you to select any plain color, pattern or any selected
photo as the background, and can include any amount of text that fits the layout. Any of the
photos, including the background, can be "Skylands" photos, or photos that you provide (professional
photos must include a copyright release). Some sample collages and sample background photos are
available at the bottom of this page.
When you order a collage, you'll receive an email within about 24 hours with all the details, and
you'll have an opportunity to review a proof of the layout before it goes to the printer. Allow
a minimum of 3-4 weeks for delivery.
Also new this year is the availablity of digital downloads. These are small images (600
pixels on the long side) with mimimal retouching, suitable for emailing and uploading to social
networks such as facebook. A small "Skylands Photography" logo is included, but will not
obscure significant elements of the photo. When your photos are ready to be downloaded,
you'll receive an email with instructions. This normally takes 1-2 days, but occasionally may
take up to one week. If you have not received the email after 7 days, please contact Skylands
Photography.
If you have any questions on collages or downloads, please email before ordering.
New -- Aluminum Prints!
Skylands Photography now has available a unique aluminum photo print. The
process use brushed aluminum, and the texture of the material shows through the image, creating an
eye catching, almost three dimensional appearance. Aluminum prints come with a
small hanger attached, and can be attractively displayed without matting or
framing. We'll have a sample at all our 2009 shows. Currently
this is only available in an 11" x 14" format, for $75. Email inquiries to the link at the bottom of
the page -- this isn't available directly through the web site. Ordering
Prints
You can order 5x7 & 8x10 prints directly from the show galleries. Most photos can be enlarged to
11x14, and many can go as large as 16x20, but if you’re interested in anything larger than 8x10,
please contact me via email first, to confirm that the photo is suitable for the size you want.
Minor retouching, including color correction, brightness, leveling, and removal of small distracting
objects, is automatically included. Cropping is performed to match the desired print size, and to
preserve the artistic appeal of the photo. If you have a specific question or request regarding
cropping or retouching, please check with me prior to ordering.
Order Processing
Most orders are processed within 24 hours, but occasionally they can take as long as 7-10 days before
reaching the lab. Rush orders can typically be accommodated, but you must let me know ahead of
time.
Shipment
The print lab that manages Skylands Photography’s web site is located in California, and that’s where
the prints are shipped, not here in NJ, so especially with the First Class & Priority Mail,
there’s some extra time involved getting the prints to the East Coast.
As of January, 2007, the rates for the available shipping methods, and the estimated delivery times
are as follows:
| 3.99 |
USPS First Class Mail |
5-10 business days |
| 7.99 |
USPS Priority Mail |
4-6business days |
| 13.49 |
Fed Ex 2nd Day |
3 business days |
| 19.99 |
Fed Ex Next Day |
2 business days |
Prices for shipping may change without notice.
Indoor Shows
Indoor shows present some obstacles to producing high quality photos. Limited light forces the use of
special camera and processing techniques, and the resulting photos can never match the clarity and
color fidelity achieved in natural light situations; photos from indoor shows will typically appear
"grainy" compared to natural light. Black & White or Sepia treatments are often effective with
photos from indoor shows, please contact me if you're interested in this option.
Most Importantly…
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, please contact me and let me know what I can do to
resolve the problem.
