‘It took courage to start it as I had never done anything that size before. As you can imagine, you have to invest a lot of your time to complete something like this.  I just had to believe in my process and have faith that it would work out!’ (via Daily Mail)

We just finished up a small sample piece for Joe printing on metallic paper and face mounting the digital reproduction behind 1/8” acrylic with dibond (aluminum composite) backing.  Hope you like it Joe!  Video and pictures never do these justice but nonetheless here’s a video of the piece.  A large scale piece taking up a wall would be spectacular.

Hello northerly neighbors!  We’re pleased to announce that we are now shipping to Canada.  We aren’t yet making this available for online ordering, but if you’re from Canada and you’d like a beautiful photo mount, give us a shout through email for a quote or give us a call at 1-877-518-5187.  We’ll need your city, province and postal code as well as sizes, quantity and substrates you’re interested in for an accurate quote.  Please note that the discounted flat rate shipping charge of $8.95 within the US doesn’t apply.

The Lytro camera will capture far more light data from many more angles than a current camera does with a special sensor called a micolens array.  Sophisticated software allows the user to use the data points to manipulate the image in a variety of ways including eliminating any blur.  One big advantage of this technology is that the action shot can be much quicker.  No more waiting for the camera to focus which often times results in the shot being lost.  The camera will also capture enough data for 3-D images which could be viewed with 3-D glasses on a TV or PC.  No word on the pricing of this camera yet which will initially be sold through online retailers such as Amazon as well as the Lytro website.  This looks like exciting technology and I can’t wait for the reviews to come in.  We may have to purchase one for the Bumblejax shop and write up our own review!

It’s difficult to get a feel for the difference in an image or video, so this is something that really needs to be seen with your own eyes to appreciate.  Not sure this is the look for you?  We suggest ordering a smaller 12×9 acrylic piece and if you’re a pro photographer we do offer a 35% discount on your order for an affordable sample piece.  (Pro photographers please contact us for details on our VIP program which offers rebranding, volume discounts and other benefits as well)

Below is video highlighting a large custom piece we did using a customer supplied Kodak Endura Metallic print face mounted behind acrylic.  It should be noted that we are currently using a different brand of metallic paper, but the look is similar.

Here’s a short video from Andrea Pender Photography discussing the metallic paper as well.

One problem most people deal with is blurring in their pictures, which can ruin a perfectly good shot. How do you know if you’re moving or if the subject was moving? Easy… what’s blurred? If the entire shot is blurred, your hands were moving when you hit the shutter button. You may want to steady your hands against something; for instance, a chair or table. A tripod is always a good idea, and you can pick one up very inexpensively in the camera department of most stores. Just remember, the heavier the tripod, the more steady it will be.

If you find that only one object in your picture is blurred, that means it was moving when you shot the picture. If you just can’t get your subject to stand still (a common trait of pets and children), you may want to adjust your camera to a faster shutter speed. Keep in mind that you’ll also need to adjust your aperature accordingly if you’re on the manual setting, although you can set your camera to adjust itself to your shutter speed by going to the Tv setting. You may also want to use a countdown for your subject to let them know when they’ll need to hold still. For instance, you may want to tell a child to wave their arms now, but you’re going to count to three and they’ll need to hold still. In case this makes the child suddenly look stiff and unnatural, engaging him or her in conversation can lead to more natural poses and expressions.

If your view screen shows that something’s in motion, using these simple tricks can help you avoid blur in your pictures.

It’s always a great feeling to join up with an artist for a good cause.  In this case we partnered with photographer Jay Watson to come up with an art piece for an auction hosted by the Hell’s Belles Car Club to benefit the SF Bay Area Women & Children’s Center.  We mounted Jay’s Sinners & Jammer’s photo to a 20×15 aluminum sheet enhancing the “edge” of the image.  In a review of the piece, Jay said, “The perfectly flat 1/8″ aluminum feels solid and definitive. It’s weight alone makes you feel like you are holding something important and of substance.”  Glad you liked it Jay and thanks for allowing us to participate in this event in some way.  We’d love to be a part of it again next year!

Rocky Mountain Health Plans of Colorado wanted a unique way to decorate their new offices and turned to BumbleJax for some pizzaz using our acrylic photo mounts in various custom sizes.

“The acrylic prints are AMAZING!! I received them yesterday and was so excited I couldn’t wait for our operations crew to hang them up, so I enlisted my family to help me hang them last night. Everyone on staff is so excited, we all love our new artwork.

Please pass along my compliments to the rest of your team (I cannot say enough nice things).”
