Photo Paintings

        I recently started playing with a new software program which allows you to manipulate your digital photos. The software uses an extreme version of HDR ( High Dynamic Range Imaging and NO I do not know why it isn't called HDRI), to change your pictures into what look like paintings. I, then send the image file to a company that transfers it to canvas and the results, to me anyways, look like a nice piece of art. I'd like to make up a few of these and try selling them at local farmers markets and craft fairs. What do you think?

Before My Photo titled Lone Oak;


And after running through my software program;


One more, this one titled Lobos Ravine before;


And After



Bored yet? Last one , this one called Lighthouse, (Yeah I know , I have to work on titles, OK new title Mans' Resistance to submit to nature results in despair); Before


 And final after Image;



And here is one that I did a bit ago, hanging on the walls of my house;


      This is an old ranger station in Seattle. So what do you all think, is this a money making opportunity? I was thinking of making a few up to sell at craft shows and then offering to turn customers photos into their very own art work. Pricing for a small canvas, 13 x 13 or 12 x 16 would have to be between $60-$75 and a large poster size , (Like the ranger station) between $125-$150, reasonable? outrageous? are you CRAZY? I'd love to hear from you . Oh and if anyone wants to get my business started, send me a photo and let me know what size !!
