Looking for good albacore photo for artwork.

Ragnar · 10-06-2003, 01:02 PM

Hey gang.
I'm making some aluminum fish cut-outs and need a good high quality/definition photo or print of an albacore. I'm open to other fish species as well. Regardless of species, it has to be of high enough quality to where the edges don't blur when I have it blown-up. If someone can make this happen, I'd be happy to make it worth they're while.

Tell me exactly what type of photo you're looking for and I might be able to conjure one up. Swimming in the water? Plain old broadside on the dock? I have a bunch of pictures of various fish, but need some more guidance on what type you want and I can filter through them. Also how many megapixel are we talking about? Not sure how large I can get a 2 megapix without distorting, just depends on how large a picture we're talking about.

Well there tailchaser,
I'm looking for at least life size. I'd like to have something showing all the fins out to their full potential(extended). I'm not looking for something that's been tatered in the quench tank and then pounded agianst other tuna on the way back to port.
As for the mega or mexi pixal count or what ever? I'm sorry, but I have no idea on that one. I try to keep my conputer skills on the low end.
I guess to where the lines aren't too fuzzy when the image is enlarged. Things are still nice and crisp.
Is that any help?

A new Loomis! Uh, yeah right. As soon as I get back from having lunch with the Queen of England with five...........thousand of my favorite friends. Yes. That's it! That's the ticket!
Actually I was hoping to repay you with one of these "Alum-a-core" cut-outs. Will that work? You can attach it to your boat, car, house or hang it in your office. You'll hvae your very own "Ragnar-Original." They're all the rage in Paris.

Thank you very much.
Ragnar

Sounds fair enough for me, just tell the queen I said hello. :grin:

Tail chaser,
My 'puter won't let me open the pic you sent. Any suggestions?

Ragnar

Ragnar, what's the odds on having a cutout made in the likeness of 'Happy', the cartoon swordfish icon on the back of 'Pilar'?

Ragnar · 10-07-2003, 02:43 PM

Pilar,
Sure man! I don't think that would be any problem at all.
How big do you want him to be?
Do you want it to be mill fininsh or really shiny?

Hey dude I have a great hi-res pic of you holding an albie on the back of the BLACK ROCKET. Let me know

Ragnar · 10-08-2003, 05:18 AM

CAPT KUJO,
That sounds great man! I'd love to have it. Did I at least manage to wash to barf off before hoisting it for the picture? Or was it the 37 tuna day with my Biologist friends? Speaking of which......Those guys never got their USIA hats. I believe it was two black and one desert camo. If you get them to me somehow I can deliver them.
So. Do you need any jewlery like this for the new generation of Rockets?
Thanks,
Ragnar
