Hi

There are some great photos on the picture thread - I'm looking for an image I can enlarge to cover a wall in my sons bedroom...

I'll get it printed at up to 2.3m x 3m (ish) and through resolution doesn't have to be perfect, clearly the the higher the better.

It is not for any commercial purpose, purely to print once and (hopefully) make an 8yr old very happy.

Does anyone have an image I can use please? Ideally a V8 (old, new or current), B&W or colour.

I get the idea that B&W with a white background might work best?

I'd be happy to make a donation to the Royal British Legion or RAFBF if that helps.

Thank you

You could ask Dean Tremlini if he would sell you one of his images

If it was me, Dean would be the first port of call. He has a thread here:

Can you be more specific about what you want on the image?
Front view/side view/oblique view for example? What background or does that not matter? Do you want the car to fill the image or be part of a scene?

I have a good selection of my V8 taken over the 9 years I’ve owned it, or I might be able to do one specially for you if I know what you want and can meet the requirement in my local area. I’ll be using a high end camera and lens, image will be fully processed.

PM me if you’re u wish, I don’t want anything for it, although if you want to make a charity donation to any military charity or prostrate cancer charity that’s great.

Assuming I can do it for you that is!

Printing that large will tax the resolution of even a top quality camera. I use a 36mp full-frame camera and the largest I can safely print without re-sampling the image is 24"x16" if I want to keep perfect resolution. You will be be looking at a poster print which will not have the same detail but I would suggest you contact a printer and tell them what you are looking to do and ask them to tell you the minimum resolution (pixels per inch/cm) which will work.

These people are very good but they do expect you to provide them with the digital image correctly sized. If you email them I am sure they will advise you https://dscolourlabs.co.uk/browse

Thank you

I'll spec to the local print shop and check what resolution they suggest I need to work with - It doesn't need to be perfectly sharp, but Ill check with them first.

The wallsauce images are great, though a little more than I want to spend - great choice!

My other half is a keen photographer and has taken several stunning B&W shots of my V8V with her very expensive Nikon kit, I'll get her to load some onto my laptop and then post a few up for you, then I can email in full res any which you like.

Surely it'd be hard not to find something in this little lot that doesn't tick the box? scratchchin

iDrive, If my photos and I can help please let me know via PM. Resolution is a relative thing for large prints, and photos can be printed much larger than what is often indicated, especially if you don`t plan on crawling over them with a magnifying glass! wink My photos are all somewhere between 22 & 45 megapixel depending on what camera has been used so they can crank up rather large.

If you are still looking for photos my other half has finally sorted a few high res images, they are too big to post here other than in screenshot like this, but let me know and I can email a few to you
