550Spyder Posted 20December, 2014 Report Share Posted 20December, 2014 Help! Almost finished my garage renovation and I have found a place that does super size canvas banners (think 3m * 2m) for wall art and I fancy a big classic Porsche image. I have two specific images in mind but they are only 500 x 900 which I wouldn't think would blow up that big? Does anyone know where I would find a high resolution version? I don't mind I'd I have to pay for copyright to use the image from the original copyright holder. The images are:http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn05.motorsportretro.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F02%2FPorsche-Carrara-RSR-Martini-Motorsports-1973.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorsportretro.com%2F2014%2F02%2Fmartini-liveries-cars%2F&h=714&w=1278&tbnid=kO6bF14TIDx01M%3A&zoom=1&docid=u36gYbD_ZDPO0M&hl=en-AU&ei=G_OVVOG-C6O7mAXxkoKADA&tbm=isch&ved=0CCkQMyghMCE4yAE&iact=rc&uact=3&page=15&start=218&ndsp=16http://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/snapshot-1973-porsche-911-carrera-rsr-le-mans I would appreciate any thought from the tech savy amongst us.

FlatSix Posted 21December, 2014 Report Share Posted 21December, 2014 If you wanted to go that big you would need quite a higher resolution copy or considering the age of the shots you probably have to try and track down the original negatives. Best I could find online was 1200px for the first one, still not enough for the size you want. Your best bet I think will be to try and find the photographers name and go from there. Sounds difficult but you do have the entire interwebs at your fingers! FYI Martini actually have a whole bunch of High Res shots on their website, just not the exact ones you are looking for.... http://press.martini.com/AssetSummary.aspx?NodeID=4122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 21December, 2014 Report Share Posted 21December, 2014 there also used to be an awesome tool that printed giant dots, and when you joined them together formed an image the size of a wall, and you attached all the paper together like in a 1970s art style, i had a huge 917 on my wall before i moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550Spyder Posted 21December, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 21December, 2014 Flat six. Thanks for that, almost perfect. High res and all. Just not the right images for me ( although I love the black and white). Pretty useful reference for some one doing some mega posters though. Do you have the link for the higher res photo you found?

FlatSix Posted 21December, 2014 Report Share Posted 21December, 2014 Here is the 1200px one... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-disrnGEqZRc/U717XRUeG7I/AAAAAAAAI54/Q9Otf-LP3p4/s1600/Porsche-Carrara-RSR-Martini-Motorsports-1973.jpg Not sure what browser you are using but Chrome has a great inbuilt feature you can right click on any image and search google by image Very helpful for tracking down higher res options.
