It took me five attempts to make this photograph before I finally got the conditions I needed and all of the elements came together. I had discovered this scene just a couple of months ago while exploring along the canyon's rim in search of new compositions. I came close to making the photo just a couple of weeks ago when there was good color in the sky, but a splotchy dusting of snow on the trees and brush below the rim left me still wanting something a bit different. I had visited the location several more times, but each time either the sky didn't light up as expected, or the wind was howling.
On the day I made this photo, there seemed to be a fifty-fifty chance that things would work out in my favor. There were interesting clouds over the canyon, but a line of clouds on the horizon meant that the sun might be obscured just as it sets. With the moment approaching, and anticipation building, the clouds on the horizon began to thin out, and the sky lit up beautifully.
The Luxe Acrylic Print with TruLife® acrylic is the ultimate in print presentation today. Thanks to Lumachrome® printing technology, details appear to emerge from the depths of the image, which brings unbelievable resolution, clarity, and vibrancy with incredible 3-dimensional quality that can appear backlit and holographic under proper lighting. Large-format acrylic prints make stunning statement pieces.
The print is encapsulated between museum-grade TruLife® acrylic and rigid DiBond backing. TruLife® is a museum-grade, crystal-clear, scratch-resistant, and non-reflective acrylic that preserves the print's finest details and allows its vibrancy to shine through without sacrificing quality.
Finally, the print is finished with a 1.3" deep recessed floating frame. The recessed frame mounts to a French cleat and floats the print off the wall, creating a clean, ready-to-hang, contemporary look that is sure to be perfect for any decor.
A Framed Luxe Acrylic Print represents the highest level of photographic print presentation I offer.
