November 2010 Print of the Month: Buckskin Gulch Glow

Buckskin Gulch GlowThe November Print of the Month is "Buckskin Gulch Glow" from the most recent visit to the Colorado Plateau.  

Incredible fleeting glow in Buckskin Gulch in June 2010.  Buckskin is a fabulous hike from the trailhead at The Wave in the Paria Wilderness area in Utah.  On this day a brief moment of intense sunlight provided the incredible glow on the opposing wall of the gulch and created a most unique light in the cavernous system.  

The print is luminescent on Canson Baryta Photographique paper and can be purchased at a 20% discount for the next 30 days.

Dead Horse Point Sunrise

Dead Horse Point State Park, UTOne of the iconic overlooks in the western U.S. is Dead Horse Point just outside of Moab, UT.  The overlook is breathtaking, especially as the morning light begins to cover the canyon.  The rocky overlook is 2,000 feet above the Colorado River below.  You may Google the state park for more information on how the name came to be.  I hope you enjoy the image and may it "take you there."  The print is made on Canson Baryta Photographique paper.   For best presentation, please click on the image to go the the "Southwest" gallery and then click on the thumbnail for a black portfolio presentation.  This image has been resized and is not at full optimization for viewing.

Cumulonimbus

CumulonimbusA new image from the June visit to the Colorado Plateau presents the spectacular clouds that were building just outside of St. George, UT.  The clouds were forming rapidly and the interplay of the clouds with the surrounding mountains was spectacular.  Later that afternoon, Ken and I experienced a pretty intense hail storm while enjoying lunch.  A few things that I wanted to represent in this image are the luminescence of the clouds as well as the slight red glow that lights the bottom of the cloud deck.  The luminescence is most visible in the uprising cloud structure and looks as though the energy in the cloud is about to burst.  The red glow on the bottom cloud deck is from the reflected light off of the desert.  

This print is made on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper.

Autumn's Brilliance

Autumn's BrillianceDriving to The Mountain Institute on Spruce Knob I was captured by this view.  It takes a very special scene to get me to stop and work it photographically, but this was the most intense autumn scene I have ever witnessed.  The crystal clear transparency was giving way to a blazing late evening sun which was providing the unbelievable back lighting on the leaves and surrounding forest.  I only hope I have depicted the scene half as well as the scene looked in reality.  It was the most intense display of light and color I have ever come across.  The print is titled "Autumn's Brilliance" and is the October Print of the Month.  I hope you enjoy the image and the print.  Please be sure to click on the image and then click on the thumbnail for a larger presentation in a portfolio black screen viewing mode for greatest viewing effect.  

September Print of the Month: The Wave

September Print of the Month: The WaveThe September Print of the Month has just been released.  Not only is this image the September Print of the Month, but it will also make its debut in my upcoming Atlanta show this weekend.  So be the first to see the print either at the show or by ordering your special print of the month today!

This month's print comes from my most recent visit to the American Southwest. The slot canyons of the desert are amazing places where light, form, and texture reveal the powerful force of water in nature.  Carved from high pressure flowing water, the sandstone of the slot canyons present to the viewer an intricate wave of textures and colors that are visions one will not soon forget.

The mix of color is made up of reflecting light bouncing off of side canyon walls in addition to the bright blue sky lighting up rock formations that are exposed to the sky directly.

This particular image is a blend of 5 frames to compensate for the very high dynamic range of the scene. The light in the final print is certainly faithful to the light one experiences while there in person.  The limitations of the CMOS sensor in the camera must be overcome by utilizing high dynamic range blending techniques.

This image is stunning in its archival framed or matted presentation.  Each framed presentation is complete with museum quality glass which provides anti-reflection enjoyment of the print as well as protection against harmful ultraviolet light rays.  The framed print looks fantastic in any room.

Please contact me with any questions you may have on the print and I hope you find a place in your home or office for this very special piece.
