Just got back from my first hunt. I had a decent camera and think I have some pretty good shots. Wondering where you all get your photos printed and which paper you use?

Seeing E-surface, metallic, pearl, high gloss paper, no idea what paper would be best for the wall.

I live around Seattle, so not sure how much help my local camera shop would be if I walked in with trophy photos .
 
I use Shutterfly. Used to use Costco but they have now moved all of their photo business to Shutterfly.

Their website is a bit of learning curve for the technologically challenged. But once I got the hang of it it there are tons of options and I am in the process of making photo albums from each of our trips over the years....

Thank you! Any recommendations on which paper to choose? You think glossy looks best behind glass/ in a frame, matte for books?
 
Definitely matt for books. Shows less finger marks and glare

Glossy for prints and matte for books is my preference.

They also have options for prints on aluminum that are really nice. I haven't done it, but have seen several and they looks great.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well
