Our new home is complete. We will be in by Christmas. I was thinking of doing a montage of the home from start to finish. This will be the first one that I've done. I'm thinking 16x20.

Need a little help.

In your opinion:

How many shots should I use
Should I use one "big" one with several smaller ones?
How should I separate the individual shots? Borders...white space etc...
Should I shadow or "float" each shot or just have a flat look?

You can see many of the shots that I can choose from on the link in my sig. Go the the "my new home" once you get to smugmug.

Samples would help greatly!

Thank you all.

Anastasia has a montage that I really like:

Is this what you are looking for?

There's a program called Lumapix Fotofusion that we absolutely LOVE and use all the time, makes montage creations a snap.

Standard is $39, and Pro is $89, trust me, the money is worth it for all the time it saves.

Some Examples:





I suggested it because it lets you simply load a bunch of photos in, and it figures out all the placements, which you can customize, or simply keep hitting the re-order until you find a layout you like.

Watch the tutorials on the website and you'll be holding yourself back from grabbing your wallet.
