Default What price for framed prints?

Moraine image: I'd love to see this in print- process? Gelatin or
inkjet? Off the cuff, %450 sounds right.

Hummers: Assuming a framing cost of ca. $50, I'd guess $ !50, maybe
$250 the pair.

For me, the stem in the background stuck out, and now I can't get it
out of my mind. I wonder if cloning it out might be an improvement?
(It's the only one that's clearly OoF. Nothing wrong with OoF itself,
but somehow, for me, it catches too much attention, due to where it
lies in the photo.)

Very nice stuff, Eric.


Thanks John. I have found a place online, Reed Photo, that will print
these images with a lightjet onto Fuji Crystal Archive paper. The
Moraine shot is a stitch of four portrait shots taken with a 5D so I
have plenty of pixels to work with.

The price on framing the hummingbirds will be around $50. The print
itself will probably cost about $20 more (just a guess, I haven't priced
the 11x14s, the 16x24 will run around $70 for the print, about $200
total cost framed. I was thinking somewhere around $400, but had
absolute no reference prices to use since I haven't bought or sold
prints before.


I don't sell thataway, although maybe someday. I try to see all local
street fairs in the BayArea that I can, and my suggestions are based on
that. Though I was thinking the hummers were going to be 8 x 10, so
printing costs would be nil on that size. Darn, too bad you aren't
nearby. I could print the 16 x 24s on my new Epson 3800.
