OFFICIAL Kings Canyon Camp Swank Thread

Oh, okay. Great shots of it, btw.

Has anyone thought of making a Camp Swank book, like, on Shutterfly or something like that? A printed one? Or are other people here adept at that sort of thing and wouldn't need to hire someone?

A book with captions and all would be sooo cool.

It would be kinda cool if someone combined all of the Camp Swank 2008 pics all in one place. That would be neat.

I dont' know what it would cost, and, it would take scaling down the shots to do this particular thing, but, I saw it at the store and it was really cool. But, I would think that someone could do it on their own. Maybe not a hard cover but still something to cherish.

And, while I may not have everyone's links yet, I have favorited yours and GD's to enjoy later. I love experiencing the fun through them!

coming out of lurk mode here, the photos are awesome, and there is a free digital scrapbook software online by Creative memories that you can download and drag/drop the photos into premade templates, you can swap pages around to put the template you want on the page you want, you get it all done, upload it to creative memoriees and then people can order them. They have hard cover ones and they just came out with a new 5x7 one that has soft cover. I've made the books thru snapfish, ofoto and CM and of the 3 the CM is the most professional, nicest book. I have the upgraded (read paid for it version) of the software and LOVE it.

Edited to add, there are several other choices for online books like that as well, a little research by someone you guys could figure out which would be the pricepoint you guys are looking for. I haven't done one by winkflash but they offer discounts on a fairly regular basis.

ah... and THIS is why I was hoping to get ALL the pics in one place. Without having to download them all one by one.

And ISM, it depends... we can fit TONS of photos in the different books depending on the software. Have a 4x6 and 14 1x2's on the same page....

But in my experience, the books run at least $25 for a decent book.
I'll check the CM pricing.

eta: costco tends to have a discount sometimes with one of the companies too.

However, there are still many other lovely spots in the Eastern Sierras that are worth exploring. And, a trip up the White Mountains to see the Bristlecone Pines - the oldest living thing on earth - is wonderful. Not to mention fantastic views of the Sierras jutting from the earth.

I want to check out Tamarack Lodge

Oh, but I love that photo.


If you're not going to link to it, can you send it to me, please.

And speaking of pictures and KB, I never did see the USH Waterworld pic you took of me...

Now that there's been two of 'em, I'm gonna turn my extensive collection of (other people's) Swank Camp photos into slideshows with music.

A book would be sweet, but it would be prohibitive to print out all those photos. The slides timed to music will be very nice though (ha, when they are finished sometime just before Swank Camp 3).



ETA: Hmmm, what do those services charge to print out a book with say, 200 photographs??

[~MS~]

It really depends on how many photos you'd want per page Steve. I did one with 24 pages - so 12 sheets of paper because they count each side. I had 2/3/4 photos on some some I did collages and a few were full page one picture. My cost for the book came to about 49.00 plus tax/shipping. You can shop around and see which one has the best 'deal going' all of them have free downloads for their program. Some allow more editing/text/journaling freedom than others.
