What's the difference between 1:2 and 1:3 panoramas?

Some of my panoramas are long and others are looong. A 1:2 aspect ratio means the image is twice as long as it is tall (think of 2 squares side by side). A 1:3 aspect ratio means the image is thrice as long (3x) as it is high (think of 3 squares side by side). Non-panoramic prints have a 2x3 aspect ratio. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have about panorama sizing.

Examples of images that are 1:2 include Monument Valley, Ring Over the Reef, and House on a Hill (Bountiful Temple).

Examples of images that are 1:3 include Fire in the Sky (Lake Powell), Leviathan Spine, and Autumn Storm (Oquirrh Mtn Temple)

I print on 2 different mediums: archival photo paper and aluminum. Prints are made at a locally owned and operated print shop here in Salt Lake.

Photo paper prints are done on your choice of matte or glossy paper. These will need to be matted and framed for the best presentation. The cost to matte and frame a photo printed on paper almost always runs higher than the cost of printing on aluminum.

Aluminum prints are the option if you are looking for something that will cause you stop and stare. The color depth, accuracy, contrast, and saturation with aluminum prints are unmatched by any printing medium or technique.  Metal prints carry a higher upfront cost but require no framing and are ready to hang with the included hanging hardware.

When considering a print size, bigger is usually better. Not because they are more expensive, but because a print feels so much larger when holding in your hand versus hanging it on your wall.  A 16x24 print seems like a very substantial size until you hang it on your living room wall and suddenly it feels like you just hung up a postcard.  Carefully consider the place you want to hang a print before placing an order (mark the area on your wall with painter's tape to get a feel for the size).  I want to ensure you are completely satisfied not only with the image, but how it looks in your home.

Prints can be delivered locally to the Wasatch Front area at no additional charge. Prints that need to be shipped will be digitally signed and shipped to your home from the print lab with the additional cost of shipping.  Special arrangements will be made for very large print sizes.

Please contact me here to place your order or ask any questions.  All prints are made to order and usually take 1-2 weeks for delivery.
