I am an amateur photographer. I am self teaching with a Canon 50D and a couple of zoom lenses. I am using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. (I am in a little over my head! LOL)

I shot some pictures of a bridge over the Ohio River just before sunrise last week. I posted one of the pics on Facebook. Now someone wants to buy a copy. I am ecstatic!!!

I want the print to looks it’s very best. I am not sure which printing service to use. My experience is limited to the Kodak kiosk at Wal-Mart and Photobucket.

Which printing service gives you the best results? What do you recommend?


Canon 50D. 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is, 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is, 50mm 1.4, 22-55mm 5.6, 430 EX II

I really like mpex. If there is good contrast and color, try their metallic paper.

I had great result with a 1 hour FUJI print at Walmart. The Kodak quick print at Walmart is not even close to the quality of the 1 hour Fuji prints. I could not believe it either when I saw my prints from the Xsi with a kit lens . Some pictures weren`t even 1 MB in size. I was shocked! I took advantage of the situation and told my wife that 8x10 prints were better, but I needed a body upgrade. ;-)a (We only printed 5x7) Right now I have approval to upgrade the body plus extra lens.

Thanks all! I will try MPIX. :)

AWGD8, I wasn't using a kit lense. I was using 70-300mm with stabilizer. :) I love that lense. Good luck with your upgrade. The Fuji prints at Walmart are a lot cheaper too, but I hate waiting around that place. LOL!
