Regular
readers of JibberJabberUK will know how important photographs are to
me. Each week I share a Sunday
Snap from our travels around the country. Rarely a day goes by
without me taking a photograph of something. Of course one of the
problems of being able to take so many photographs is that they stay
on your phone whether in cloud storage, on a blog or on your social
media accounts. The last time I looked I had over 23,000 photographs
on Google Photos alone!
When I was
approached by TescoPhoto.com
to try their same day canvas printing I knew this was going to be a
great opportunity to finally get an image off my phone and into
print. My only problem was going to be deciding what to turn into a
canvas.
We have a
range of prints around our bedroom of coastal scenes we have visited.
It wasn't something we originally planned but it has just developed
over the years. For our canvas we chose a shot of Seahouses Harbour
with Bamburgh Castle in the background. It was taken in the afternoon
but the mist hadn't lifted all day. The stillness of the water in the
harbour contrasts with the waves crashing in on the beach behind.
Since I took this photograph on my Canon DSLR with 20.2MP I wasn't
worried about quality being affected by blowing the image up so
large.
The order
process was really simple. The only problem I had was deciding on
what size I wanted! I would recommend getting out a tape measure and
properly sizing up the wall size you want to hang your canvas in. In
the end I went for a 20”x16” canvas which costs £52. I checked beforehand that my
local Tesco Extra did the same day service and then went ahead with
the order. I just uploaded the image from my laptop and the image was
displayed on the screen how the canvas would be created.
The ordering
details state that if you order before noon it will be ready to
collect after 3pm. I placed by order at around 10.40am and within the
hour I had an email telling me my order was ready to collect! When I
went to pick it up later that day it was packaged up in bubblewrap
ready and waiting for me. I am someone who is quite critical of
customer service but I was very impressed by this. Home it came and
went straight up on my wall.
I ordered
a canvas for review purposes. All words, photos and views are my own.
What was the price like?
