http://www.ronandonovan.com/prints Owning a print by Ronan Donovan becomes an experience of lasting appreciation for a given animal, landscape or far off culture. One of the primary goals of the images you'll find on this site is to evoke a desire to preserve what you are seeing. To ensure that we will still find the intact ecosystems of Glacier National Park in Montana's Rocky Mountains or that we will still find African Elephants roaming free across East Africa or that we shall still find healthy communities of subsistence farmers in the mountains of northern Vietnam. <br/><br/>One such way of preserving and promoting such stunning scenes is through supporting the efforts of photographers by promoting their work. The environmental movement and conservation as a whole often requires the assistance of the visual arts to promote the work of scientists, biologist, and all those who put forth the effort to preserve. <br/><br/><strong><span class="large">How to Order Prints:</span></strong><br/><br/><em><strong>Choosing a Print - </strong></em>This website has a fully integrated marketplace which makes ordering prints a breeze. As you browse through a galley and find a print that you’d like to own you have the option to ‘Add to Cart.’ This button can be found at the top-right corner of the page above the thumbnails. There is also an ‘Add to Cart’ button on the left-side of the image that is accessed by moving your mouse to the left-side of an image. <br/><br/><strong><em>Custom Prints and Sizes –</em></strong> Ronan uses a print lab that can accommodate virtually any size print. He has fulfilled orders 8 feet long and encourages buyers to consider larger print dimensions to really maximize the presence of a print. Ronan has added several common large print sizes to the ‘Custom Products’ category found in the shopping cart. Custom products will take an extra two weeks to process due to their size and added attention by Ronan. <br/><br/><strong><em>Ordering -</em></strong> Once you’ve clicked the ‘Add to Cart’ button you will see various categories to select from ranging from large fine art canvas prints to specialty gift items such as a puzzle. When you select a category you will be shown the available products and their sizes. One the right side of that window there will be an image with an explanation of each product. From there you can continue shopping or go to cart to checkout. <br/><br/><em><strong>Artist’s Recommendation -</strong></em> Ronan recommends displaying prints as a canvas gallery wrap with a lustre finish. This is a very stylish and powerful print method that really makes an image come alive. The canvas is stretched over a 1.5-inch wooden frame making the image standout from the wall as well as hiding the frame from view. This makes it possible to hang the image alongside any home or business interior since there is no need to match the color of a frame or matte. Since there is no glass, Ronan recommends adding a lustre finish to the canvas which protects the image from UV rays as well as allows for light cleaning of the face. <br/><br/>All the photos you'll find on this website are available for print or digitally for commercial use. All images have been taken in the last 4 years using either a Canon 30D (8 megapixels), Canon 5D Mark II (21 megapixels) and most recently with a Canon 7D (18 megapixels). These prints are intended to be displayed as large fine art prints in order to maximize their visual impact. en-us (C) Ronan Donovan ronmdon@gmail.com (Ronan Donovan) Tue, 04 May 2010 18:51:23 GMT Wed, 05 May 2010 19:28:33 GMT Wildlife Animals
