For quite some time I’ve been thinking to bring photo print sales from redbubble back in-house or move to another platform. Today, I’d like to announce that this transition has been successfully completed.

From now on, all prints will be fulfilled via fotomoto.com, company that specialises on high quality professional prints and allows integration of their storefront and shopping cart with my website. Apart of these great services, I hope that their customer management system will save a bit of my time and allow me to concentrate on shooting new images. Please read more about fotomoto.com services here: http://www.fotomoto.com/site/confidence.

Currently, all images are available in formats from 8″ to 30″ on glossy, lustre and metallic paper.

To make this transition smoother, I’m happy to offer a limited time 25% discount coupon: 0A77FF.

If you have any troubles with your orders, please contact me.

- Bryce Canyon NP, UT
- Canyonlands NP, UT
- Arches NP, UT

So keep your RSS reader, twitter reader, browser or whatever you use ready – I’ll start posting new images very soon …

Please accept my apologies for recent downtime and overall slowlyness. I’ve just finished another site migration excercise and hope that it will improve overall performance. If you noticed any errors or problems – please let me know, I’ll appreciate your help.

Above is a Wilpena Pound in Flinders Ranges, South Australia, consider it as a teaser for upcoming posts :)

BTW, if you have some free time, I’ll appreciate if you vote for my blog here:

Thanks!

As you probably noticed, I’m back from Christmas and New Year holidays and busy processing new photos. Lots of material. I estimate that I’ll publish new images and descriptions of some great places at least twice a week from now on – so stay tuned, or, alternatively, subscribe to RSS feeds.

BTW, I’ve improved feed for the latest images, now you don’t need a looking glass for it. Thumbnail images are a bit larger now.

Another way of getting updates is to add me as a contact on Flickr, I cross-post all images from this site to my gallery there. 

I don’t say that I’m surprised, but processing RAW files form the 5DMarkII takes a bit more time. 25-30Mb RAW files require a bit more processing power, comparing to RAWs from my old Canon 20D, especially for panoramas. Previously, it took minutes for PTGui to stitch an HDR panorama. Now, for huge TIFFs, produced by 5DMkII, it takes hours.

All of this is happening on QuadCore 2.7Ghz,  8GB RAM and separate HDDs for data and temporary files. As CPU and RAM are almost never 100% utilised, it seems that HDDs are creating this bottleneck. Or, it can be Vista … hmm.
