Last night I attended the pre-opening event at the new REI store that opens today in Fairbanks. They purchased one of my photos of Denali to be used as the background wall mural at the checkout counter. Since the image size was 42 x 12 feet, the file had to sustain a large reproduction and retain good quality. I was really happy with how it turned out, and the quality resolved very fine. They converted the color image to black and white and below is a photo depicting how it was installed. Thanks REI!

A little back story on the actual picture: I took the image of Denali and a tundra pond in a panorama format, which consisted of 7 images stitched together in Photoshop. I used a 24-105mm lens at (90mm), using a Canon 5D Mark III. This created a final image file that was large enough for a 42 ft enlargement.

Very cool indeed. Was this a commissioned work, or something you had done on your own that REI later purchased?
Mark, it was not commissioned, they bought the stock photo from my website.
Well done Patrick, wish I could have been able to view it. Is it possible to post a small version of the B & W.
Emlyn,
