Take the Photo Yourself

This method can be rewarding and challenging all at the same time, but it will definitely be one that is more personal to you! Of course you will need to take the best photo possible for this project but it can turn an every-day afternoon into a really exciting  search with the specific  mission of taking the perfect photograph for your own custom printed wall mural that will be displayed in your home or office. Grab your camera as you wander the city's avenues and boulevards on a night out.  The lights from the city, buildings and reflections in the dark all have the potential to be really amazing photos. If you're nearby or on vacation to a beach or a mountainous state park, you will have virtually unlimited photographic opportunities, particularly during sunrise and sunset. If course, bringing the best camera you have for this adventure is always advisable, too!

Explore New Areas

Don't be afraid to think outside the box. An ordinary dairy farms, the sweet smelling apple orchards, the nearby city parks, to even an abandoned building can all be potential gold mines for amazing photography.  You can certainly beauty in the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary corners around your home if you just keep your eyes open and on the lookout for something great. Having a little prior knowledge about your camera will also help you to make the most memorable images possible. So you might want to adjust your camera's photo taking settings such as the flash, exposure, or the color balance (if possible) and you can see some amazingly unique results that can certainly surprise and definitely delight.  Even a photo that turns out a little blurry has the potential to be beautiful and look quite intentional. These are certainly some workable options to make a truly remarkable custom mural. It will all revolve around how you look at it and your own personal desires and tastes.

Film is Unlimited!

One aspect that has definitely been revolutionized in the age of the digital camera is the fact that you can virtually take as many photos as you like. Our house photographer has enough memory cards to take over 4000 photos a day! This fact allows you to play around with settings, angles, and moods and not have to worry about the price of film development. For example, photos of textures such as tree bard, leaves, roots and rocks can be particularly appealing to some and might look really great in a custom wall mural. If this appeals to you as well, whenever you go on a hike you should bring your camera along and really take the time to explore these details in nature. I take photos of anything and everything that catches my eye visually. Once you're back at home you can review the images (usually in the dozens or hundreds) and only save the best ones. It's certainly possible that you delete thousands of photos, but the one you keep for  your custom wall mural will truly be a gem.
