Art slides

Ok, so I found a place where I can display my amateur art but I need to send it slides of my work and shit...and basically, I don;t know how to do that. :oops:

So does anyone know where to go to get that done? Or do I have to do it myself?

Without knowing offhand, I'd say your best bet would be to check out copy-shops like Kinko's. If that doesn't work, it may come down to photographing the works yourself and getting them developed as slides =(

Hope you find what your looking for though!

Rhalins right, there used to be a place that did that but they closed and i have tried taking my work to some "digital photography" shops in namely turkey creek. and it was awful.....they printed out a free poster for me and it sucked ass. I suggest having it done on your own and taking the film to be developed as slides

35 mm cameras make pretty good slidez (that uzed 2 b portfolio format when I started art school)... Just make certain that pics r not behind glass or n e thing (2 avoid glares)...

Hmm...ok, I'll see what I can do...

When I become a really rich snobby artist I'll make sure I send ya'll x-mas cards every 5 years.... :twisted:

Thanks!

When I make slides I buy the fuji crome or whatever it's called. stay away from Kodacrome (kodak slide film) because there's only a few places that develope it, none in this area, so it has to be sent off and takes *weeks* to get back.

Fleetwood on Berden Hill beside fazoli's can get it back to you in 2 hours usually.

If you are photographing paintings, take them outside. Natural light has the best color balance, otherwise, indoors the images might have a nasty cast to them.

Do not use flash.

Take them to a side of a house, or somewhere you can hang/lean them, and make sure there's no tree cover. Tree's reflect green light, and will make your images green. Also be aware of what color the house is, especially in bright sunlight, because the light off of it will affect the image color too.

If you must shoot them inside, do three point lighting, and try to use some daylight (full spectrum) bulbs.
