Good photo on your phone?

   Wish you could have it enlarged?Maybe an 8x10 or even a 13x19? And then framed?

This is an example of what Thunderbird Photos can do for your cell phone pictures. This was a poor quality photo taken with an iphone4, emailed to us, then corrected and enlarged to a framed 13x19 and then shipped, postage free.

Many old black & white photos look washed out, faded

and just blah!

 Thunderbird can revive and 

enhance them to make grandma young again!

 Add Scripture Verses, Sayings, Dates/Names, or Any Wordage You May Like! 

 "This solar eclipse of August 21st. 2017 looked pretty crummy on my iPhone 6plus. 

 I had Thunderbird Photo enlarge and enhance this 8x10 with Isaiah 13:10, as you can see to the right. I decided to frame it myself with an old but expensive picture frame I purchased from an estate sale.

 I have had so many complements as folks enter my office and see it hanging proudly over my desk." lrw-4/6/19

From a Satisfied Customer

  This was a real challenge as there were some tree limbs as well as a flag in the picture. They were barely visible, however, just enough to take the focus off the moon. The shot was actually taken about one minute after full eclipse but we think it really added to the effectiveness of the photo as you can just barely see a hint of light 'sneaking out' at about 'one o'clock'. 

                --Thunderbird Photos--

There is the option to send us photos by U.S.P.S. mail for restoration and enlargement

Crystal & Grace 19x13.jpg

 This new mother sent us a photo she clipped in order to fit in her wallet. "I know it's wrinkled and kinda dirty but do you think Thunderbird Photos can make a      19x13 of me and my baby?"

 Well, young lady -- here is your                                              answer.

She later sent us this photo holding the beautiful  19x13      we printed and  framed for her.

A few months later the same customer sent us an email wanting us to take a 10x8 color photo to downsize and make several wallet size, looking like a black & white sketch drawing. No problemo!        (We noticed whoever took this was able to get both subjects to look in opposite directions.)

Great effect!

Some 'Once in a Lifetime' shots are on your cell phone!

Red Sox 1 copy.jpg
Red Sox 2 copy.jpg

  The World Series - 2018

 

  October 28th, 2018. The Boston Red Sox defeated the LA Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

 

 The picture on the left was taken just five minutes after the Red Sox won. A once-in-a-lifetime photo for these guys. And, because of the stadium lighting, it was ruined! 

    Or, was it?    Tbird Photos received this

just minutes after it was taken with the request,

"Can you please help my 'dream' photo? 

 Sure we can! And the outcome was a beautiful full-sized 11x14 refurbished and framed picture.

                The letter that followed read, "Thanks,                  Tbird. I have placed my 'once-in-a-                        lifetime' photo in the foyer; right                           where anyone who enters my home                      will be looking at the 'Winning Pose'.

This was taken while standing in line at a     

Wal-Mart checkout. Any sayings or statement may be added to your photo.

This beautiful double rainbow came to Tbird in the mail as a 5x5. The pic was perfect to make into a 17x11 with a scripture verse applicable to the picture. This panorama could be made because of the wide angle scene.

If Your Photos Aren't Becoming to You - Then They Should Be Comming To US!

A satisfied repeat        customer sent a color photo of her  grand-        daughter and wanted to know if Tbird could make

a 'color book' picture from it.  First was to remove

the color. Then there is a    multitude of 'color book' options.        

  Sending several more photos, she had us make

a 20- page spiral booklet  using options similar to these.

Now they're both in a comic book with several of their buddies. 

Comic books are a simi-hardcover spiral type with any number of pages. They can be of any size from 4x6 to an 81/2x11. Pages may contain photos or texts with any number of options. Let your design be original. 

Here's an idea! How about making a coloring book AND a comic book -- all in one?

  Sure, this is a pretty girl - but - something is just not quite right.     

change 1.jpg

 First, she looks kind of sad. So let's     

   change that frown into a smile. And perhaps a little lipstick.

 Next, how about a pretty blue jacket.

 And, maybe a brighter shirt.

 Then, we need to get rid of the     

   magazine she is holding.

  OK, how is that? Not quite!

    Let's give her brown eyes and an earring to match the jacket.

WOW!

What a difference just a few small adjustments can make!

Hey guys -- what a trout! 

           

          Sometimes 

           it's just not         

        possible to get

      everyone into the

    picture. Or to get

   someone else out of

          the scene. 

Where's Billy? 

Adding or removing an object? It looks like Billy missed the Ice Cream Truck. 

Not to worry. We can add him from another photograph.

            In this photo,

        Billy was late for       

      the photo shot. We     

     later took a photo of   

     Billy (with ice cream)        and added him to the                      scene.

Here's  Billy !

 Is there really a little   fisherman in this   print? Or - is this an   illusion Tbird Photo   added? Who knows? 

Chad & 1 carrier.jpg

 Most any object can be   placed anywhere in your   photo.  Pretty neat-huh?

Here is a clue. Surely   there aren't three little   fishermen -- are there? 

A telephone call to Thunderbird Photos (864-921-2714):

 Hello, Sir--We recently had a fire in our den. Our house was saved, however, there were many of our things destroyed   including the family photo album. Most of the photos can  be replaced by copies my two brothers have but there was only one of the three of us taken at our grandma's house many years ago. The picture is badly faded and some of it             has actually melted. If I send you the photo would you         please see if you can make it worth framing. If not, I understand but I hope you can at least make it a 'good        memory' again. Thank you for trying to help us. We would like three 4x6s or 5x7s.....                                                         

Bad, Sad, & Crummy prints can most often be restored.

  As you can see, the original probably wasn't all that great to start with.   The color is certainly washed out--the faces are blurred (probably from        heat), and there is a border on two sides only. Un-fixable? Not for                Thunderbird Photos. A little work and some magic--and--Three brothers    at grandmas house, again.

The small photo in the top right of the big photo was sent to TBird via USPS with the request to repair the shirts, take out the shadows, and enlarge to a 13x19 size. 

Carrier & Maileigh & fish.jpg

As you can see-the shadows were taken out, the shirts were recolored, and —from a 'dirty' 4x6 to a beautiful 13x19 on glossy paper.

The photo below was originally taken by an iPhone 4,   Sent to Tbird  in a text message.   An eMail is preferred, however, the customer was not able  to do so. The size of the photo was only  95k.  Could it be made into an 14x11?   Here's  the proof!

This marshland pier is actually only 8 feet long.But, with the magic of T-bird Photo, it can 'go on' forever. When enlarged to an 8x10, or even larger, what a beautiful picture for your den wall. 

You just never know when a great photo opportunity pops into view. That's one way a cell  phone camera is such a good invention.But—will your shots stay on your phone forever? How about a 'hard copy'?

ThunderBird

can do that!

One of the coolest features we get asked to do is for taking those old Black & White photos and either fixing it up to original status or even 'work our magic' to create a natural looking COLOR photo. Below is an example of a customer's pitiful old childhood photo on the right. It could have been turned into a flawless B & W like original, but she wanted to have it made into a 'new colored' picture. In a situation like this, it helps the customer to give us the color of clothing, houses, other articles in the photo, even the background.
