Where in the World is Reilly Bell?

How's this for a great idea?? Our customer Nancy Murdoch from Cromwell arranged for her grandson to go on a world trip, so he can share his experiences with friends, classmates and family. But this is a world trip with a difference! Reilly will not be leaving home personally. Instead, a canvas print replica of Reilly made by GPL Giclee Print Limited will be passed from traveling family members to friends and contacts overseas as they journey to different parts of the world.

Reilly's print is slightly larger than life-size, but rolled up he's not too bulky, and has found his way to India already, and we understand China is the next stop.

Great idea, Nancy - thanks for sharing, and good luck Reilly, we hope you enjoy the trip! We look forward to hearing about China and all the rest of the exotic locations you end up in; and we'll be sure to update this site when you have more news.

Scenic trip to the dentist!

One of our clients recently undertook to have a large number of his own underwater photography shots made into stunning canvas prints by GPL Giclee Print Limited. The idea was to provide something of interest for clients to regard as they sit back and - um - enjoy their treatment! He was delighted with the results, and we have a quick snap to show you:


What you see here is the view from one of the chairs, showing a selection of the canvas prints we made for him. Each print is 24 x 16 inches in size - that's about A2. What a great idea... thanks Merv!

Calling all Underwater Photographers!

Here's a great chance to get hold of a FREE canvas print of your prized underwater photos!

"Really? Howcome?"
Glad you asked... we've recently started producing canvas prints for Colin Gans - check out some of his awesome works for sale here at his gallery site. Through Colin, we became aware of the SEAFANZ Underwater Photographic Society. Through Colin we are delighted to have also been introduced to the good people at Dive New Zealand Magazine.

"That's nice - but tell me about the free prints!"
OK, OK, here's the gen: we've teamed up with SEAFANZ and Dive New Zealand to sponsor part of the prize package for the winners announced in each issue of Dive New Zealand Magazine of the SEAFANZ Shades of Colour Underwater Photographic Competition. Here's what to do:

1. Capture a brilliant underwater scene
2. Enter as either "Novice" or "Advanced" in the bi-monthly competition
3. If you win, part of a great prize will be a print of your winning image!

Check out the details on the competition page of the Dive New Zealand website.

We have a huge amount of respect for underwater photographers. Getting everything right on dry land using a tripod is hard enough for most of us. The concept of tackling issues of composition and lighting whilst also thinking about currents, pressure, remaining air, length of time at this depth, etc. is impressive. Then trying to capture images of often shy, fast-moving and sometimes dangerous creatures is enough to boggle the mind!

So - come on underwater photography enthusiasts - show us what you've got!

New ad in engaged, and Bride Of The Year 2008

We recently advertised our services in a great new online publication: engaged magazine. A very appealing medium - like a glossy magazine that you flip through online - very cool - I enjoyed the flip through whilst checking it out to find our ad! Here's a link so that you can take a look yourself, it's a great resource if you happen to be or are thinking about becoming, well... engaged!

Get your own - Open publication

We're on page 105 of 138 - right after the story of David and Sonya Cooper - winners of the Weddings.co.nz Bride Of The Year competion 2008. This is rather apt, as we sponsored a prize as part of their package - so we're going to be making a beautiful canvas print for them from the lovely image you can see on the 2-page spread in engaged (pp 100-101). Here's the image - which is the work of instant Wedding Photography.
