<< Please read full description, paying attention to crop/resizing for certain print sizes>>  

 

The Image.  

The view from Dale Head overlooking Fleetwith Pike and Honister Pass is one of my strong favourite viewpoints in The Lake District! The previous few weeks before this evening, I had been recovering from a knee injury. Not wanting to do anything too strenuous, I thought the modest hike up to Dale Head would be the perfect way to go to enjoy a lovely summers evening of photography. The climb up was a slow one. As I reached the summit cairn, I could see the sun was about to break through the clouds. However, I could also see a thick layer of atmospheric haze on the horizon. This prompted me to get my skates on (sorry knees) and get into position for this viewpoint. Just as I arrived, the sun appeared through a small gap in the clouds; producing some fantastic light on Fleetwith Pike and the valleys below! I just about managed to take a couple of photographs, before the sun sadly disappeared behind the clouds for the rest of the evening.

 

The Print.   

• I use Professional cameras and lenses in my workflow resulting in exceptional image quality. (The preview images have been reduced in quality for web purposes). All photographs are taken and processed by myself.      

• Prints are produced to the highest quality by an award-winning print lab with Hahnemühle Gold Certification. Please allow 3-5 days for your print to arrive.        

• All prints will be printed at the stated sizes. However, an additional white border can be added to the image to make mounting\framing easier. Please notify me if you would like the print to come with a white border.   

• I’ve included the most popular sizes, but if you do require a custom size, please contact me for a bespoke quote. Prints can be printed at any size up to around 55-60 inches on the longest side. 

 

Paper Choice. 

There are three options for paper choice. As standard, prints will be printed on a beautiful heavyweight photographic paper, with the option to upgrade to two museum quality archival fine art papers. Please see below for more information on paper types. 

 

Photo Smooth Pearl 290gsm 

A natural white, heavyweight and instant dry, high quality photographic paper. The beautiful pearl finish and white point gives a crisp finish with a superb colour gamut. Perfect for everyday printing and display. 

 

Hahnemühle Fine Art Silk Baryta X 310gsm 

A stunning heavyweight fine art paper with archival properties. 100% alpha-cellulose based which means that it is acid-free and lignin-free with no added optical brightening agents. The only brightening agent used is the barium sulphate, which is where the term baryta comes from. The paper has a smooth, non-textured surface with a silky gloss finish. A perfect paper choice for bright and colourful landscapes with high contrast and lots of detail! 

 

Hahnemühle Fine Art German Etching 310gsm 

Another beautiful heavyweight fine art paper with archival properties. 100% alpha-cellulose based which means that it is acid-free and lignin-free with no optical brightening agents. The paper has a premium matt coating designed especially for fine art applications. This guarantees outstanding reproduction of colour and detail. The surface of the paper is characterised by its velvety-textured look and feel, which is best suited for those that want the print to have a ‘painterly’ feel.  

 

Sizes Requiring A Crop.   

Some sizes may require me to make a small crop to the original image. This is due to the paper size being different to the original aspect ratio (2:3) of the photograph. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance. Please see below for sizes requiring a crop;   

 

A4, A3, A2, A1, A0 - Small crop required.   

7x5”, 16x12”, 24x18”, 28x20”, 32x24” & 40x30”  - Small crop required.   

8x6” 10x8”, 12x10”, 20x16”, 24x20”, 30x24” & 45x36” - Significant crop required, please contact me before purchasing.   

 

Please note.  

• Print only; frame not included.  

• Please make sure you have selected the correct size and are happy with your choice, as refunds/exchanges cannot be given on account of this.

Postage + Packaging.      

• Prints will be carefully packaged and sent flat in cardboard envelope or rolled within a tube, dependent on size.    

• Please allow 3-5 working days for your print to arrive (UK Only). 

• International Shipping – It may be possible to ship internationally, depending on the country. Where possible, I try to use reputable print suppliers based in other countries. This helps to keep costs down but also minimises my carbon footprint. Due to the nature of using different suppliers, prices will vary between different countries. Therefore, all international print orders will be quoted on an individual basis.
