1.1.

Welcome to the High School Ski Racing Photography FAQ for Brian W. Robb - Photography. For many years I have photographed Oregon high school ski racing and made images available for you to purchase. This FAQ should answer most of your questions regarding photography ordering. Please contact me at: brian@brianrobbphoto for any further explanations. Thanks and I hope you had great racing this winter!



2. The FAQ

2.1. Where can I see my photos?

Photos of Oregon high school ski racing are viewable online. Follow the links at the top of my home page, http://brianrobbphoto.com

2.2. How do I order photos?

For most racers, you have received proof photos and an order form in the mail or delivered by your team officials. While I try to get photos out soon after your race is over, it may take a few weeks in the height of the season. Thanks for your patience!

To order photos, simply downlaod and fill out the order form and mail it with your check to: Brian W. Robb - Phototography, PO Box 1223, Hood River OR 97031. Each photo has a unique number associated with it. Payments must be in US Dollars, therefore foriegn payments must be in a US Dollar draft drawn on a US bank or a US Dollar money order.

A detailed explanation of the order form follows.

Order forms are also available for online download at the high school ski racing link at the top of my home page.

2.4. Can I order online?

At the present time, I do not offer direct online ordering. I must receive the order form in the mail in order to process your order. I am able to offer you many options using the order form system.

2.5. Completing the order form

I offer photographic prints in the following sizes: 5 X 7, 8 X 10, 11 X 14, and a 20 X 30 poster. I also offer three digital files. The low resolution digital file is about 100kb. The file size is suitable for web pages, facebook, and e-mailing, but will not yield satisfactory prints. The medium resolution file is about 900 kb. This file size will produce satisfactory prints up to 4 X 6 size. The high resolution file is the full file produced by my Canon professional digital camera. You can make prints up to 30 X 40 without difficulty. All digital files have been optimized for maximum quality. For regular season races, I am also offering a digital CD of up to five high resolution files at a new lower price of $59.00. The digital files must be of one individual skier from a current season, regular season, race.

For some teams, I was able to take a team photo. Digital files are not available for the team photos, only photographic enlargements.

Mounting options:

Mat mounting and ColorPlak mounting are offered. With mat mounting, the photo is dry mounted on a standard size mat board (i.e. the 5 X 7 on an 8 X 10 mat, 8 X 10 on 11 X 14, and 11 X 14 on 16 X 20). The mat mounting will require framing.

The ColorPlak mount is a popular complete framing option. The 5 X 7, 8 X 10, or 11X 14 photo is laminated onto a 3/8 inch, pressed wood board. The board has a black painted beveled edge. The photo is protected by a spray coating. The ColorPlak is ready to be hung on the wall immediately.

Custom captions are also available. The captioning is whatever you would like (for example: " Bobby Jones rips a GS course at Mt Hood Meadows").


IMPORTANT PRICING NOTE:

All options are additional and the option prices must be added to the base price to arrive at the total. For example, to order a 5 X 7, Colorplak mounted, with a caption, the price is $59 ($18 + $38 +$3).

Shipping charges:

A shipping charge must be included with ALL orders except orders that are only for low or medium resolution digital files that will be e-mailed to you. High resolution digital files will be sent on a CD and therefore will incur the shipping charge. The base shipping charge is $6. Shipping for posters is $6 per poster. Overseas shipping charges are higher and are available on request.

Discount:

There is a 10% quantity discount for ordering 3 or more items. The discount is taken off the subtotal before the shipping charge is added. There is no additional discount when ordering the photo CD.

2.6. Important notes about digital images

All prices are per image, except for the photo CD. Digital images are not available for group or scenic photos. Low resolution files are only suitable for web use, facebook, and e-mailing and will not make satisfactory enlargements. High resolution files are a good option when you have an image that you really like and want to use it many ways. A note is sent with the digital files that gives you reproduction rights for personal uses.

2.7. Your personal information:

I never give out your personal information. I request your phone number and e-mail address only in case I have to contact you about your order.

2.8. Delivery times:

Please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery, although times are often shorter.
