On every album page there is a 'Keyword Search List' option, to select & view all images associated with any keyword anywhere in the gallery. On every image preview page there is a list of keywords associated with that image, which can be used to search for other images on a similar theme.

Alternatively there is a search option located within the sidebar menu:

Simple Search - key in a single descriptive word or part-word, e.g. Aust or Australia [return/enter] to find all images/text within the gallery that refer to Aust or Australia. Click on a thumbnail to see the high resolution image preview.

Advanced Search - by entering several descriptive words separated by a space e.g. Australia Kookaburra pair [return/enter], the search will return images/text which match any of the entered words. To search for items matching ALL entered words, prefix each word with a plus sign e.g. +Australia +Kookaburra. Only images which have Australia & Kookaburra in their details will be displayed.

To search for all Australia images, but not a Kookaburra, type a minus sign immediately infront of the 'not' word, i.e. Australia -Kookaburra

To carry out a search that ignores album descriptions, comments etc., un-check all the unwanted search boxes. This may achieve a more focused search result.

Print size - measured in millimetres or inches - is linked to the resolution of the image file - measured in pixels per inch (ppi). The same image file can be supplied at a variety of resolutions, depending on the print size required.

An original 3000 pixel x 2120 pixel image supplied at three different resolution settings (180ppi, 300ppi & 360ppi) will produce a high quality level print from the same printer but the size of the print produced will vary i.e.

• A resolution of 180ppi will produce a print W 423mm (16.5″) x H 299mm (11.5″)
• A resolution of 300ppi will produce a print W 254mm (10″) x H 180mm (7″)
• A resolution of 360ppi will produce a print W 211mm (8″) x H 150mm (6″)

The above resolutions are for guidance only & all image sizes are approximate.

Image files can be supplied at a number of resolution settings & file types (JPEG, TIFF, PDF etc.) which in turn, have a bearing on the purchase price. It is therefore important for us to understand what size & type of print a customer wants to achieve & the file type required. Images at lower resolutions e.g. 72ppi, 120ppi etc., can be provided enabling clients to achieve much larger print sizes. Depending on the printer used, the quality of the large print may be affected.

All images will be supplied as high quality JPEG files at a resolution of 300ppi unless otherwise requested by the customer. The high quality print size achieved from the 300ppi resolution is given on each image preview page within the gallery.

All images are supplied as sRGB colour space.

Standard metric (International Organisation for Standardisation - ISO) paper sizes are:

We do not currently offer any printing services. However, the buyer may either print & finish the image themselves from the licensed JPEG image file, or use a professional printing service.

When producing standard prints from any of the images contained within this gallery, it is recommended that a quality printer (minimum 150 dots per inch (dpi)) & high quality paper be used. Please be aware that the dpi rating of the printer will not affect the overall print size of the image, as dpi only affects the visual quality of the image when it is printed on media.
