I have a square wall behind my dining room table and I've been looking for the right print or bit of artsy fluff to fill it.  I finally decided on what I want to do.  I have a seascape that I took years ago down in Palm Beach.  Just sand, sky, trees, and ocean.  A bit of driftwood in it.

This photo is kind of special because way back when, I was given an old Canon 35mm camera as a gift.  It my very first SLR, and really shooting with it convinced me to get away from the digital point-n-shoot and into a decent DSLR.

What's a decent, not-too-expensive website that I can get it printed out as a poster-ish sized print?  Or a canvas wrap?  Or whatever?  Just something to hang behind my dining room table?

Depending on how big, the Evil Walmart...

Costco is Probobly king here.

I have had nothing but great experiences with their photo lab with both canvas and metal prints. My 24 MP D7200 made a great triptych that’s Probobly 4 feet by 3 feet. Think it was $200 or so?

I use Nations lab for prints that I don't want to get from Walmart. If a person orders a print from my website it comes from Bay photo.

Digital or film?

What size print?

What level of quality is acceptable?

What is "expensive" for your budget?

I can't help you with film printers as I switched to all digital back in 2002 and have long since scanned all my negatives.

Costco Photo Center has competitive prices for what I consider good (though not fine art) quality. Their canvas prints are also in that "good" quality range (at least the few I've gotten). Walmart seems to be in a similar bucket as Costco, but with fewer print sizes.

For quality prints that I provide to clients or as gifts, I go to either Bay Photo or White House Custom Colour. They provide a very wide range of papers, sizes, finish styles, and mounting options. They are not "cheap" and they both provide top quality products.

I use redbubble.

Some of the posters I have made.

Not sure if I will be doing a CoC violation but my most popular item and photo I did is my AMD65 training poster.

The dragunov is another one.

Aspen Creek Photo. Not the cheapest but the quality is excellent.
