70...

Thanks to Fred Vanderhaven, we now have one of my favourite images of all time included - his magnificent colour-mapped narrowband M8.

Thumbnails updated - post #70 in this thread.

One of my favorites! I remember having that as a desktop for quite some time. An image to be very proud of!

Beautiful Fred!

Baz.

Given that it is a limited run of 100 and 70 submissions (assuming every person submitting will buy at least one, I have place an order for 1 book only, and will wait to see if there is an extention to the printing and order another one then.

Feel free to order as many as you like - if people are ordering multiple quantities, then the initial 100 will be pre-ordered quickly and it gives us a reason to go beyond the initial 100 and go to (for example) 200.

So that's a GOOD THING!

Thanks so much Jeanette It's been a real hoot to do this. I still owe it to no-one other than yourself for the spark that saw it snick into first gear:

Quote:
Coffee-table style, short run books are very easy to design, print and distribute these days. Most of the large photo chains can supply them at a very reasonable cost per unit.

What if we all contributed our best personal photo taken over the past 12 months and produced a book (as per Jeanette's original thought here: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...t=39606&page=4 ) ? Each photo might also be accompanied by the author's blurb on the opposite page.

I think it'd be a ripper idea personally.

EDIT: There is a poll running here which asks the basic questions of you - would you be interested, and if so, for how much?


Here's a suggestion for the front cover, a set of opposing pages, and now for single-page sets too:
Post #80: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...t=39606&page=4

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement ever since.

Thanks Mike, I just didn't want others to miss out. I'll place another order on Monday night with the same details and they can be sent together.

A great outcome. Thanks Chris, and to everyone who contributed. The sample pages look amazing.

Missed all the excitement!

Damn! Been busy with work (7-day work-weeks for the last 3 weeks) and put this in the "I'll do this later pile"! ..."Later" never came...
Never mind - at least I've got my copy on order .
Well done on all the work in getting this together. Looks like it's going to be an awesome book and quite a conversation piece .

Hello from Spain. I see that Saturn not have presence in the book :-(

I have a 2200x2200 px., 500KB image containing some of my best Saturn images. I have printed to 50x40 cm. and look very well. Is a JPG 100%. I dŽont know if it will be to give an opportunity to Saturn... :-D

As is small, and I am a real computer dummy ... maybe I can send it by email to someone.
