Old Man of Coniston Print - Golden Sunrise - Lake District Mountain Photography

Bring the experience of a late summer sunrise into your home with this stunning Lakeland mountain view, captured from the summit of The Old Man of Coniston in The Lake District National Park. After a very early wake up call of 3am and an arrival time of 4:30am, I started my hike from behind the Ruskin museum in Coniston. It was a tough old slog, and in truth, I was battling with my own thoughts for much of the hike; wanting to turn around, go home and get back in bed. Of course, this was never going to happen, but it really did make the hike a lot less pleasant. A mixture of tiredness, achy knees and not being able to see much all added to me not feeling strongly motivated. As i pushed on past Levers Water, there was enough light to be able to turn off my headtorch, and I finally started to feel the motivation kick in. I was glad I kept on going as there was a nice sunrise followed by some golden morning light! Suddenly, my achy knees and tiredness had all turned into a distant memory of the past!  

• Prints are produced to the highest quality by an award-winning print lab with Hahnemühle Gold Certification. Please allow 2-3 working days for your print to arrive.    

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

• 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. 

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.

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.   

As standard, the dimensions quoted for my prints refer to the actual paper size and thus are borderless. For example, if you order a 30x20” Inch print, the photograph will cover the entirety of the paper.   

 

I can provide the print with a white border; either a small additional border or an internal border. Please contact me before or after purchase to notify me if you would like a border adding.  

 

For the small additional border - this will keep the photograph size at the stated print size, with the white border added externally to the photograph. The size of the border will vary with different print sizes, but is usually ½ – one inch.  

 

For an internal border - the size of the paper will stay as quoted. However, the size of the actual photograph will be reduced, dependant on the size of your required border. For example, a 30x20” inch print with a 1-inch internal border will result in a 30x20” paper size with a 28x18” photograph. You will need to notify me of the size of the internal border you require.

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. Please contact me for a bespoke quote.
