So does anyone have thoughts for the best way to print a landscape might be? Should I go with a paper print and then have it framed?

That's mainly personal preference and what suits your decor.

I've transitioned to metal and canvas for personal display and sales (aside from bagged matted prints). I'd probably do a larger glossy metal for your Schwabacher's shot.

For framing I tend to prefer simple black frames with single white or black mats or double white and black mats. That's more of a photographer/museum/gallery approach though and not suited to every home. Whatever the frame I suggest non-glare glass if there's any chance of reflections.

With paper prints the main choice is between a minilab c print (traditional photo paper) or archival inkjet (fine art paper with archival pigment ink). Archival inkjet prints offer better longevity, wider gamut, slightly better sharpness, and greater paper options. Most of the good online labs offer both c prints and archival inkjet prints with varying types of papers. Backing options are another consideration, but you can probably skip that with good framing. The print will be the cheapest part of framing though so you can always swap it later.

Do you mean you would print on metal itself? I've done it a couple of times but it seems to rob a little sharpness and make things a little darker to my eye. But that's been through mpix solely. I was thinking I'd try bayphoto in this instance.

But yeah, this is for the Teton shot.

Yes chromaluxe aluminum metal prints. There will be less resolution with a dye sublimation print which is why they are best used in larger print sizes. Archival inkjets will have a wider color gamut and longer life (100 vs 50-60 years) as well. There are metal inkjet options which allow higher resolution, but they lack scratch and water resistance.

Acrylic prints are another option that can provide higher resolution than metal while still providing a clean look. They are pricey though and can be prone to scratching.

Below are a few pictures from my recent trip to Iceland. Going to start with some general landscapes and then move on to more specific subjects...

The photos below are the Strokkur geyser at Geysir, Iceland. It erupts every 5-10 minutes or so. A couple of times it "misfired" and had two small eruptions about thirty seconds apart, or so, but most of the ones while we were there were impressive and probably over 50 ft into the air.

I was shooting in high speed, at about a rate of 10 frames per second. The first five images are sequential, the sixth image was four frames later and the last was eight more frames after that. I didn't include an image of it at its apex because it wasn't too much higher than the last photo below.

We recently returned from 10 days in Argentina, mostly spent in the southern Patagonia region. It was an amazing trip. I've been processing photos. One interesting bit is that I brought along my Google Pixel 2 and used it as a point and shoot. The image quality is nearly consistent enough to make me want to leave the bigger camera home...nearly.

This is a pic of Mt Fitz Roy on the border of Argentina and Chile. It's a crap shoot to ever get clear enough skies to see it so we were grateful for this view even though that cloud over the peak regenerated all day long, never allowing for a clear picture.

Beautiful. Was that with the point and shoot or the big camera?

This one was on the "big" Sony a6300.

I got into wildlife photography just over a year ago, and I've been passionate about it ever since. I meant to look for this thread a while ago, but I forgot about it. I attached a photo of a male Cardinal that I took about a week ago.

That's great. What camera do you have? Wildlife seems to me something that requires good gear with big lenses. I have a friend who really loves it. He spends a lot of time and resources on gear and likes to test it out at the zoo. It's too much for me to carry on a hike though.

Thanks! I use to shoot with a Nikon D3400, but I just upgraded to the Nikon D500 with the Nikkor 200-500mm telephoto lens about a month ago.
