Alternatives to Mounts

[chaosnut]

Are there any Alternatives to Mounts that you know of besides getting a Replica made? I know someone said before that you could take your digital pictures and submit them to a company that does Custom Artwork... anyone here of that before?

I keep five frames on my wall. It the frames are my five biggest fish. I take some good quality digital pictures of the fish after I catch it and then go home and put them on my computer and print them on quality photo paper to the size of the frame. I drop it in the frame and hang it back on the wall. Each frame cost me about 4 bucks.

There are some places that can take a photo and transfer it to canvass like a painting.  You might do a google search.  I know there is a place here in town where I live that does it, but I have not seen any in person.

I have heard that a taxidermist can make a mount with a quality picture and accurate measurements of certain areas of the fish. I do not know where those measurement sites are. Anyway, I understand it is some substantial money to have this done, I would stick with a good picture.

PS- Sorry, just reread your post. Not the information you were looking for.  So to answer your actual question, I don't know.

Hey Key chain, for that matter, a taxidermist (not really an accurate name anymore, as most don't use real fish anymore) or should I say, a "fish artist" can make a replica with "no photo" and "inaccurate measurements". It all depends on how closely you want your replica to match your actual catch. And even with the best photos and measurments, a lot of it still has to do with the skills of your fish art guy.

I love replicas. Wish I could afford more of them, but a great photo is certainly the second best thing.

Peace,

Fish

Most malls have photo transfer art.    You know, where you take a picture of the kids and they tranfer them to a T-shirt, coffee mug and such.

      Get a digital picture and he can transfer that picture to lots of items.

I stand corrected Chris.  I would probably add a few inches here and there anyway, end up with a bass the size of a whale hanging on my wall.
