One of my many images taken at the Royal International Air Tattoo this year is being produced as an 18x12 inch print and this is what the final version will look like:

They will be sold via myself for £20 on high quality paper with the proceeds going to the Vulcan To The Sky Trust, if anyone is interested then send me a PM. Alternatively contact me via my Flickr page as it is also shown on my photostream.

The image itself is being printed by an independent photographic shop in Walthamstow and I have used them for many years.

I have confirmed with John Riley that this is a lawful post!

This is also a good advert for Pentax in my opinion as it shows what kind of images our equipment can produce and you don't have to buy Canon/Nikon etc etc...

Very good image Rob.

Not so sure about the final comment as I run multi systems and it isn't due to image quality.

I think that's the OP's point. Baring a few specific situations final real world image quality is brand independant. It's the other features which one should base ones system choice on. But the easiest way to pull the wool over the eyes of the punter in a camera shop is to tell him he's buying better image quality.

Very nice shot, I hope it sells well!
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

Totally agree with your comments, its just that I don't think that I have ever heard salesmen advising one brand over another because of picture quality, hence my comment.

But I'm not a salesman by trade...

I was just trying to say that Pentax cameras produce nice images but then we all know that anyway otherwise we wouldn't use them.

Anyway back to my original comments and trying not to detract the thread from the subject the Director of RIAT has asked for one of these images which I am very pleased about

Hopefully others will want one as well.

Agree, and excellent shot. I am sure they will sell very well.
I'll order one closer to getting back home in December.

PM sent.

Best regards

Excellent effort Rob.

She has a furrow in her brow from looking at her bank balance, but on the brighter side she excelled herself this year and made a lot of friends. Good luck with your endeavour.
