The Image.
The ascent up to Side Pike can sometimes be a casual stroll. However, on this morning I had decided to park in the Old Dungeon Ghyll car park, and walk up from the valley below. I wanted to stretch my legs and get some exercise in, and that I certainly did!
The views from the top of Side Pike and just underneath it are some of Lakelands' finest views, especially when considering the relatively low amount of effort it takes to get up there. The views of the Langdale Pikes and Mickleden Valley are just spectacular!
I took this photograph as I was making my way back down. It had been somewhat of a tough morning, after struggling to find compositions due to being too early in the season for heather. Then I came across this little patch of heather with part of the old stone wall anchoring the foreground. I’ve walked past it so many times in the past, and I’ve never really thought anything of it, but the sunlight was illuminating the heather which just instantly caught my eye. It’s sods law that once I had setup my tripod and framed my composition the sun went behind the clouds and I lost the foreground light. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long for the light to return!
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.
