Rays Through Redwoods
$2500 – $3100
Redwood National Park, California
The California redwoods are so thick and tall, there are not that many places where the sunshine reaches the forest floor, even on sunny days. However, when a person is lucky enough to come across a view where that does happen, it is a sight to see. As the sun beams penetrate the canopy, the California redwoods become alive.
This is a morning image, taken before the sun had risen very high. I was curiously following the path, exploring the California redwoods forest beauty and charm. Coming upon this scene I was really captivated by the blend of bright sunlight and contrast of the tree shadows. In nature photography the artist often seeks out light with little contrast. The reason for this is that strong sunlight can be harsh on a picture and it can be difficult to produce a high quality print. However, this is not always the case as is clearly seen here. There are certain scenarios however, when the high contrast enhances the artistry and visual effect.
The decision one has to make in those situations is what parts of the image are ok to remain without details. Namely, the dark parts which would remain underexposed in order to contribute to the contrasty look. In the image you see above there are areas which are completely black. The redwoods cast big shadows, while the California sun creates bright streaks of light. It is what makes this picture so powerful and compelling.
The coast redwoods occupy a narrow strip of land along the Pacific coast of North America. The majority of redwoods are found in California and a small part resides in the very southern part of Oregon. They are evergreen, monoecious trees, which can live for up to 2000 years. Many Redwoods grow over 200 feet (60 m) tall and a number of them reach over 300 ft (90 m). The current tallest redwood reaches 379.3 ft (115.61 m) and is called the Hyperion tree. Naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor discovered it in 2006.
This is the absolute highest luxury, museum quality product in fine art printmaking on the market today. Acrylic prints boast a tremendous range of vivid and bright colors, incredible sharpness and clarity, and an anti-reflective acrylic surface. Put together, these qualities result in an almost 3D looking showpiece, which immediately captivates and impresses the viewer. TruLife® acrylic prints are a fully finished wall art product, ready to be hung on your wall.
Lumachrome acrylic fine art prints reflect light with amazing luminescence due to the Iridium metal particles used in the print inks. Because of this, these museum quality prints appear as if they are lit from behind. In addition, the colors are amazingly vibrant and well saturated, while the dark areas maintain great detail. Furthermore, I use the anti-reflection, scratch resistant, and UV protective TruLife® acrylic as a standard on my limited edition prints.
Metal prints are a paperless fine art photographic product. The inks are directly infused and sealed onto an aluminum sheet, in order to produce this gallery quality, luxury artwork. ChromaLuxe metal prints result in a stunning, high-gloss fine art image, with bright and saturated colors. Metal prints have incredible image quality, archival properties, and physical durability.
Research has shown that ChromaLuxe metal prints will outlast, by three times, silver-halide photographic paper prints. Besides, metal prints are a remarkable high definition product, delivering high quality at a slightly lower price, compared to acrylic prints.
Large format print sizes with great quality are available for your interior. As a landscape nature photographer, I pride myself on being able to produce huge prints with sharpness and detail. Although prints are available in custom sizes, my typical dimensions are: PANORAMIC – 20×60, 30×90, 40×120 and STANDARD – 30×45, 40×60, 48×72. You can learn the difference between panoramic and standard prints on my print sizes page. There you will also find visualization tools to help you see how different size large format prints fit inside a home decor.
