Presented here are larger format results ranging from print sizes of 30x40 to 35x55 inches. These computer images represent a wide variety of techniques from the pure, barely touched single photograph to high dynamic range (HDR) photography where up to 9 exposures are combined and processed to better represent the incredible dynamic range of the human eye, impossible to capture with a single shot from the best camera in existence. In addition several photo-paintings are included whereby the intial photograph or HDR photographs are processed and then painting techniques are applied so that the end result shows actual brush strokes, based upon the original photograph as the "under-painting".

These photographs are shown two at a time as follows: the actual result, just prior to printing is presented, and then an expanded view of a much smaller area is shown to present more of what you would see by observing the actual final result which is significantly larger than you can see from this screen presentation.

The final presentation is then printed on HP Collector Satin Canvas, and attached to either 1/2 inch plywood backing that can be framed with "floating frames" (30x40 inch sizes) or else to 35x55 inch canvas stretchers ,whereby the canvas (printed at 39x59 inch) is then wrapped around the stretcher frame as the final result.

All aspects of the work from initial photography to computer processing (the final result seen here),to the ultimate presentation on canvas (printed on the HP Z3100 12-ink cartridge fine-art 44 inch wide by up to 50 foot long roll paper and canvas printer), are my responsibility and therefore my success or failure.

If you are interested in the purchase of any of these efforts for your environment (noting that the final result on canvas will be even more pleasant since the final presentation cannot be adaquately/accurately presented on the computer screen), please contact me at 805-689-7258 or send me an email at johnmarkel@gmail.com.

I hope this presentation provides some enjoyment to you.. thank you for your interest.
