Nature’s Pic Images Blog

Been producing a lot of supergraphic grade photographs for recent massive mural installations at super high quality, for close viewing distances.

We specialise in this work by shooting high aspect ratio panorama files from numerous high resolution files stitched together.  A recent one was 26 metres long – an aspect ratio of 1:11 height to width! That’s dealing with the top of the pyramid of images – very few files can go this size.  Luckily we have many panoramas in stock that can, often made from 6+ high res files stitched for maximum quality.
Here’s the crazy 26 metre wide install (link to the original photo). Photo file was well north of 1000MB in size:

And a beautiful HUGE boardroom graphic (original image link here):

Another huge supergraphic scale mural install – this one at 13 metres wide. Again very few files can handle this high width to height ratio.  You definitely wouldn’t want to take a traditional format file and crop it to this aspect ratio, throwing most of the data away, before having to enlarge to massive size – more top of the pyramid file selection needed here. This one was shot on medium format digital camera with multiple frames stitched.  Both of the above were printed and installed by the folks at Frosted Glass by Design. Here’s a link to the original file

And an interesting recent install onto a boardroom sectional door for a maritime based company. You can’t see here, but the whole decor of the wider zone hangs off the mural hues.

Fieldays 2018 was on Rob’s agenda this year, and well worth a stop in. It was awesome to see so many of our photographs printed as large murals.

We have a large selection of stock images that work well at massive sizes (shot on medium format digital and professionally stitched into massive files) which are suitable for quality exhibition backdrops, and branding displays.

Rob does commissioned photographs too, and we did a couple of massive murals for Honda Power & Marine this year. Can you spot the celebrity in one of them?

Nope, not Clark Gayford, although Rob let him know he wasn’t stalking him, he happened to be in shot of one of the professionally stitched panorama’s we did for Honda. Kate the Corgi made her debut appearance, a little know fact outside the breeding clubs, Corgi’s are a cattle herding dog breed.

Kate the Corgi – Rob’s fearsome cattle dog was added to the frame – a great distraction for kids while mum and dad talk gear, at Honda Power and Marine’s Fieldays stand

NIWA’s stand was very eye catching with their clever use of one of our large panorama files:

NIWA’s simple but beautifully designed stand created with an image we created to fit dimensions. Simply cropping a photo to shape and enlarging just ‘doesn’t cut the mustard’. Here we worked with the designer to create a huge image file to fit ratio specs – thereby minimising cropping and maximising output resolution

We had some great feedback from The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), who were very happy with the quality and feel of our images. It was great to work with Adam from Station Creative on the MPI stand this year, he’s very much into quality too, so a successful Fieldays for 2018 across the board.

We were commissioned to create large murals for exhibition use at the new Foxton experience, Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom. Given the large size and close viewing distances, we created specialist large files by stitching multiple medium format digital camera files to make truly huge files for stunning reproduction values. Here are some of the images used. Visit https://www.teawahou.com/Home. We worked with Workshop e, and they have photo credit for these images….

I supplied many images to outfit the Blenheim Information Centre, and recently got the chance to view the final result.

It’s always great to work on a project that uses images that make you proud, and this is one of them.

Pop in if you’re passing through Blenheim – it’s a great building with nice interior and exterior design.

Images were from my wide Marlborough District collection.  We do a lot of large image installations and murals like this. For example, you’ll see my images used in Auckland and Christchurch International Airports. Check out feedback we’re recieved from some of our mural clients.

Saw the new arrivals hall inside NZ Customs, at Auckland International Airport, when I got back. I’d supplied a special shot made of 10 high resolution digital files merged to make a very large photograph.  To see a shot of mine welcoming us over the threshold onto NZ soil is a great feeling.

NZ Customs got a bit excited when they saw me taking photos in this area, but I’d already asked, and they joined me with a nice compliment. The shot represents ‘Aotearoa – the land of the long white cloud’. > > > Continue reading : full post + comments > > >
