Giclee (pronounced "gee-clay") is a French word meaning "a
spraying of ink".
Giclee prints have many advantages over both offset lithography and serigraphs
(screen prints). Giclee prints have a higher apparent resolution than
lithographs
and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraphy.
The printing technique utilizes microscopically fine droplets of ink to form the
image/ A print can consist of nearly 20 billion ink droplets. This unique
feature
produces a near continuous tone image, smoother gradation between tones and
a more finely differentiated color palette.
It is often difficult to distinguish the Giclee from the original piece of art!
Take Great
Candid Photos of Your Pet
By Suzi Sevcik
When you're looking through your stack of photos of your pet are they all
nicely centered, in focus, looking sharp or is your pet half chopped off,
blurring, or looking the other way? Taking great photos of your favorite pet
is harder than it looks. All it takes is a little practice and you can be
shooting fantastic photos of Fido. There's a lot that goes in to camera
selection and we'll save that for another article. For now, it's just you,
your camera & your pet.
1. The first step is patience. Your dog or cat probably has a much different
agenda than you & if you're rushed, they're going to pick up on your anxiety
& not look or feel relaxed. If the time you choose to photograph your pet is
going to be on a tight schedule, it may be better to come back to it when
you have the time.
2. The next important step is training. Your pet doesn't have to have a 4
year doggie school degree, but some basics will help. Simple commands like,
Sit, Stay, Lay Down are easy to teach and will go a long ways in making your
photo shoot more productive. Start your photo shoot with a quick little
training refresher. Have some tiny, but yummy treats handy & just run them
through the basics. Once you have their attention, they'll be focused on you
and willing to please.
3. Have you decided where you'd like to take their picture? Is it by the
lake, in the house or maybe in your own backyard? Choose a site that is free
of distractions and at a time of day when the sun will be behind you to
reduce shadows if you're outdoors.
4. A little help goes a long way, especially if you have multiple pets.
Enlist your kids or friends to either help with the posing of your pets or
handling of the camera. Keep it light & make it fun for everyone. If you
feel you're getting stressed out...take five & let the animals take a
breather too. But keep your camera handy, you may get some of your best
shots when they're relaxing.
5. Take your pet’s fur color into consideration when choosing a background
or if there's going to be someone in the picture with them. Posing with a
black dog while you’re wearing dark jeans will leave you with a photo a of
dark blob. Consider colors that complement each other.
In my experience, I've found that a digital camera works best with pets. You
can take tons of photos and then only print the really good ones. Next time
you see your pet doing something cute, keep your camera handy & snap away.
