Mountain Pastures

Grazing Sheep | Wilson Peak | Telluride, Colorado
Growing up in Europe I am accustomed to seeing sheep herds everywhere. However, domestic sheep are not a regular part of the Colorado terrain. Therefore, as a fine art nature photographer I am intrigued when I see a sight like this. In fact, this is the only time I have seen a herd of sheep in Colorado, in such picturesque scenery.
On this particular day I encountered a unique opportunity. It gave me a chance to capture green mountain pastures, peaceful sheep, charming aspen Fall colors, and the majestic presence of Wilson Peak. All of these landscape components became part of a striking nature panorama.
The challenge here was creating a panoramic image with moving objects. My panoramic photography technique involves multiple shots to achieve the wide angle. Thus, it is important that everything in the viewfinder be still, in order to capture the entire scene. For this reason, it can be quite tricky (and most times impossible) if anything in the view is in motion. However, grazing sheep are not fast moving. Therefore, I was able to capture this artwork.
Domestic sheep in Colorado date back to the late 19th century. According to the The Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior for the Year 1881 the Ute Indians raised sheep along the basin of the Uncompahgre River. At the beginning of the 20th century there was resistance to raising sheep in Colorado. However, gradually the Forest Service began permitting larger numbers and by the year 1940 more than 150,000 sheep were allowed on Forest Service land in Colorado. Today, these numbers have drastically decreased.
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.
