Don't print them very big they aren't that good. The light is boring and flat, the composition isn't very interesting and the sky is generally blown out and overpowering.

If you take them to a frame shop and get it framed there you will spend between 80-120 bucks a picture depending on where you go, how big they are and what materials you use. If you print them in a standard size you can find do-it-yourself frame kits at art stores for around 20 bucks.

Look at www.mpix.com or www.adorama.com for printing, they do a great job and the turn around time is less than a week.

Kerowo,

I know nothing about photography and wasn't attempting to take nice pictures.

I think the first one could've been a nice shot if I had actually realized how cool it could have been.

What size do you think I should make them in order for them to look the best they can?

Thanks for the website suggestions.

You didn't take the pictures for me so don't worry about it, you are the one who will be living with them.

As far as size goes you'll probably want to not go bigger than 8x10. Those cost about 3$ each on Mpix so you can experiment with sizes bigger than thatif you want. Get the frame before you print the picture to make sure you get the right size. As long as you have 4-6 megapixels you should be able to print these as big as you'll want.

#3 and #4 could have been decent pictures if framed properly, but they weren't. The rest are boring.

I wouldn't put any of them on your wall unless they mean something to you.

heh, i hate to jump on the bandwagon with everyone here especially as the guy said he doesn't care if they are technically impressive photos...but, i'd probably just get a pinboard or some sort of frame and throw these and other photos in there. don't blow them up.

Rather than just blowing up the pictures like a poster you could alternatively try to rasterbate your pictures to give the room a unique feel. Rasterbator is a cool proram that blows up your image by converting it into a multi-page pdf file to print out.
There was a thread on here about a year ago and I gave it a shot with some pictures of mine for my college apt. If interested I would really try to find that thread because it had some great suggestions etc.Rasterbator Program

Heres how one of my pics of the great wall turned out.
