You will find them here: AHDA Provincial Championship All photo printing is done by Bay Photo in California, a high quality Professional print lab. You may choose either lustre or metallic paper for your prints. Both are professional weight and archival quality print papers. You may choose either International Airmail (Postal Service) delivery or International Economy (UPS or FedEx) delivery. The International Economy shipping option comes with a tracking number, and typically arrives within a week. International Airmail can take as much as 3 weeks, and does not have a tracking number. All deliveries are guaranteed, so please CONTACT ME if there are any problems with either the quality of the prints or the delivery of your purchase.
Individual Prints, Print Packages, and Digital Files are available for purchase. All four years of competition photos can be accessed through a single link. You will need to 'register' as shown above, but then will be able to gather any 'favorite' photos from these galleries into a single gallery. You can review those choices and place your orders from there rather than from each individual gallery. As well this year the pricing is displayed in Canadian dollars, for your convenience. This means the exchange calculation is done here rather than by the credit card company.
Use the 'Lightbox' to enlarge the photo, and make sure that it is crisply in focus and that all eyes are open! Click on the photo when it is to the right of the screen, to open it on the lightbox.

You can move between galleries, or from packages to prints, without loosing your choices or needing to check out, as long as you have your browser set to accept cookies. Photos are keyworded with competitor number. This will allow you to click the keyword to be taken to a gallery that contains all photos with that keyword.
About Aspect Ratio and Cropping: All of the posted photos have a 2:3 aspect ratio, and match 4x6, 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30 inch prints. They can be cropped tighter if you wish, in the shopping cart. Click the ADJUST button. As well, print sizes that do not match the 2:3 aspect ratio MUST be cropped. These print sizes are 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, wallets, etc. I will double check all cropping before releasing the order to the lab.
To use the crop tool in the cart, grab a corner of the crop box and drag it inward. You can rotate the crop, if you would rather have your print in landscape orientation, if there is enough space around the dancer to allow this. When you have finished cropping, click Save Crop.
I am offering several different packages for this years competition. All packages can be ordered on either Lustre or Metallic paper. The Gold package can be ordered with 4 (4x6) prints or 2(4x6) prints plus a sheet of wallets. Choose the package first, and then you will be asked to choose the photos for each print size in the package. I can create a special gallery for you to collect your favorites, if you wish. This allows you to narrow down your choices, and then to order from that gallery, making the ordering process easier. Please CONTACT ME if you would like me to do so for you.
Find the photos that you want to include in the package, and drag them into the image well for each print size. You can mix and match photos in your package, from the same or different galleries. Items like the 5x7, that require cropping, will show the crop box.
This year, orders placed before June 15 are eligible for 25% off, by using the
