Phil Crawshay
Costal Prism

249 MEGAPIXELS
249 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of a rainbow on a beach with the ocean; landscape photograph created by Phil Crawshay in Coquina Beach, Bradenton, Florida.

Coquina Beach, Bradenton, Florida

This particular morning, I was graced with the fleeting spectacle of a double rainbow, a reward for the early start and patient wait. Capturing this phenomenon presented unique challenges, particularly because I was committed to creating a multi-image, high resolution panorama with a long exposure that would smooth out the ocean waters. The inherent difficulty lay in the transitory nature of rainbows and the rapidly changing light conditions of dawn.

I had to meticulously calculate the exposure time to ensure that the rainbows were captured in all their vibrant hues without overexposing the emerging daylight. Each frame of the panorama had to be taken with precision and consistency to stitch the images seamlessly. The use of long exposure will often create a more dream like image, but any change in the wind could have introduced motion that would blur the panorama's intricate details.

Balancing the camera on a sturdy tripod, I had to remain vigilant, ready to adjust the settings at a moment's notice as the early morning light evolved. The result, I believe, speaks for itself with a harmonious blend of skill and natural beauty, encapsulated in a moment where time seems to stand still.

231 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of woods, trees, and the coastline; landscape nature photograph created by Greg Probst in Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park, Oregon.

Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park, Oregon

I could start and stop by saying "the majestic Oregon coast" and that would be a complete and accurate statement. This view is from Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach, Oregon which is a cute small tourist town on the north Oregon coast. The beach is wide and long and almost everyone stays on the beach or roams the many stores. On the north side of town there is a small road that leads up to Ecola State Park. This view is from one of the trails that works its way through the forest. I've been on the trails many times and have had it mostly to myself.

A New York State of Mind: Cropped

527 MEGAPIXELS
527 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of the Hudson River and the New York City skyline at sunset; photograph created by Phil Crawshay in New York, Manhattan.

Manhattan, New York

This was the third attempt at capturing this incredible skyline view of New York City from the New Jersey side. On the other attempts it was either too cloudy or raining, the Hudson was too choppy or the wind was too strong creating camera shake which can ruin the panorama as one blurred image in the 120 that make this image up can ruin the whole thing. Eventually I got the right weather and conditions to capture this stunning view.

A Fine Chicago Evening: Cropped

863 MEGAPIXELS
863 megapixels! A very high resolution Chicago skyline photo; created by Phil Crawshay in Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago, Illinois

Undoubtedly the best view of the incredible Chicago skyline as seen from the grounds of the Alder Planetarium. This was the third attempt at capturing this as the weather each other time was fiercely cold, windy and rainy so on the third attempt, I was extremely lucky to get a break in the weather . The expansive view shows the Chicago Aquarium all the way to Navy Pier.

Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York

The king of all city skylines as seen from high up in Weehawken, New Jersey. Taken at extremely high resolution, this panoramic photograph shows a multitude of interesting details in crisp detail such as the Concorde at the USS Intrepid museum. A piece such as this yields something new to see every time you look at it.

Breaking Storm

302 MEGAPIXELS

I had been watching this storm cell build, rain, throw lightning and finally get colorful for over an hour as I was driving in southern Utah a few years back. For some reason I was hesitant to stop and try making this Vast image. I think what finally made me stop was the trees silhouetted on the ridge line near the bottom of the frame. They added a sense of scale I hadn't seen while driving and I like seeing that sense of scale in image.

Cumulonimbus

451 MEGAPIXELS

I was working as an artist in residency at Wupatki National Monument in September of 2022 and one day I walked out my front door to see this cloud system building up for another day of monsoon rains. I walked out, looked up and turned right around to go back inside to grab my gear. Cumulonimbus clouds can build very quickly so instead of setting up the tripod I just chanced it and hand held the camera. I probably have more throw away attempts with clouds then successes. This is the keeper out of the 3 series I made. Two were successful and I feel this is the most pleasing one.

Sunrise Silhouette

401 MEGAPIXELS
401 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo of silhouettes of trees at sunrise; nature photograph created by Greg Probst in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire.

Hampton Falls, New Hampshire

In my 40+ years of traveling I've been in 23 countries on 6 continents and have seen some wonderful scenes, this one was from my bedroom window in New Hampshire. All I had to do was put my boots on and walk outside and make the image. Morning color like this last just a few minutes and honestly I have missed similar images because putting my boots on and walking outside took to long but on this morning I was fast enough to get this one series before it faded. Being a squarish format it is open to cropping options, you can easily make a vertical or 3:1 ratio horizontal, it has lots of options.

MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK: Cliff Palace

276 MEGAPIXELS
276 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format panorama photo of the dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park; panorama photograph created by David David in Colorado.

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Mesa Verde National Park - Cliff Palace.

Mesa Verde National Park is located in the SW corner of Colorado near the Four Corners area. Four Corners being the point where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona all come together. If you enjoy indigenous history this is a must stop with thousands of archaeological sites and around 600 cliff dwellings, the Cliff Palace being one of the more famous.

This was a fairly straightforward shoot with the biggest challenge being dealing with the part of the dwelling that was recessed back into the cliff in shadow and the other half of the dwelling that was exposed to the harsh sunlight.

If this interests you, make sure to also view my The Great Hunt petroglyph image.

Title Origin: Didn’t want to get fancy with the title and simply named it what it is.

Thanks ... and thanks again,

THE FIRE FOREST

276 MEGAPIXELS
276 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of sun rays illuminating trees at sunset in a forest; nature photograph created by David David in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Michigan.

Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Michigan

The Fire Forest – Lake Superior Sunset Sets Forest Ablaze.

Yosemite National Park annually has an interesting occurrence called the Firefall. Each February the sun hits Horsetail Falls in such a way that the falls appear to be on fire as if lava was cascading down to the valley floor.

While hiking in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, specifically the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, I stumbled upon a somewhat similar occurrence. Under the right conditions e.g. time of year, time of day, and climate conditions, a sunset off Lake Superior can light up this section of forest in a brilliant manner. The forest becomes ablaze in red! The “climate conditions” part of the equation is simply that, like Yosemite, all the atmospheric conditions need to be right to produce a great sunset. Overcast skies and you get nothing.

To make it even more interesting, from this photo location Lake Superior is not even visible and this section of forest is inland some hundreds of yards. How the sun pierces through to illuminate the trees is amazing. One would never think it possible.
Title Origin: Playing off the Yosemite Firefall phenomenon seemed the logical choice.

As with all VAST imagery the detail is uncanny and meant to be enjoyed. In this image be sure to notice in one of the closeups the moth on the tree bark.

Set your favorite space ablaze in incredible detail by ordering this VAST print today. The bigger, the better!

Thanks ... and thanks again,

Tim Lo Monaco
Fontana di Trevi

130 MEGAPIXELS
130 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy; photograph created by Tim Lo Monaco.

Trevi Fountain, Rome, Italy

Fontana di Trevi (or the Trevi Fountain in English) is one of many architectural and artistic marvels around the city of Rome, Italy. Located on the Piazza di Trevi Square, the Fontana di Trevi still sources its water from the last functioning aqueduct of Ancient Rome. During the Middle Ages, it was the only place for Romans to get clean drinking water in the city. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, known for designing the colonnade in front of St. Peter’s Basilica and the fountains in Piazza Navona, was originally tasked with this design but was unable to complete the project due to lack of funding in the late 17th century. Ultimately designed by Nicola Salvi, the thirty-year construction of the baroque fountain was completed in 1762.

At over 85 feet tall and 160 feet wide, it’s the largest fountain in the city. It was sculpted from Travertine Stone and depicts Oceanus, the god of fresh water, being pulled to the sea on his shell-shaped chariot by winged hippocamps (half horse and half fish) and tritons. The changing sea tides are represented by the calm hippocamp on one side and the unruly one on the other side. The statues on either side of Oceanus represent Abundance to the left and Health to the right. The four statues on the top of the building represent the abundance that water brings: fruit, wheat, grapes for wine, and flowers, as seen in the statues’ hands.

This iconic monument in Rome, Italy, attracts millions of visitors per year and is one of the top sights to visit in Rome. I’ve been to Rome a few times and it’s always fascinating to see the source of inspiration of the buildings in Washington, D.C. where I live. Rome does it on such a grand scale with its masterful sculptures and ornate stone carvings; it’s impossible not to stare in awe of the artists’ depictions at Fontana di Trevi and throughout Rome.

This high-resolution photo of the Trevi Fountain was made by compositing 12 photos together in November 2023. It’s a straightforward panoramic photo, simply showing the grandeur of the historic fountain in Rome. This VAST Photo of the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy can be printed on a much larger scale than a standard fine art photo of the Trevi Fountain found elsewhere. The breathtaking sculptures can be viewed up close to see the artisans’ detailed work. Busy trying to capture the photo, I forgot to toss a coin over my left shoulder in the Trevi Fountain as is tradition. If the myths are true and it makes it so that I don’t return, I am glad to at least have captured this image as to remember this beautiful place.

Duilio Fiorille
Fog over Giaveno

203 MEGAPIXELS
203 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of Giaveno, Turin, Italy at night with fog and mountains; photograph created by Duilio Fiorille.

Giaveno, Turin, Italy

It is not always necessary to make long journeys to see natural spectacles: this VAST photo was in fact taken from the terrace of my house a couple of years ago and portrays the city of Giaveno while it is surrounded by fog on an evening in November.

We are located approximately 40 km west of the Metropolitan City of Turin, in North Western Italy, Western Alps, Sangone Valley..

To emphasize the movement of the fog and the effects caused by the lights of the city below, I made long exposures of 15 seconds each, so as to also have greater visibility of the surrounding mountains.

You can see the snow-capped peaks of the Ligurian Apennines on the left and in the center of the photo in the distance, while on the far right the peak of Monviso appears, one of the most impressive mountains in my region, Piedmont and in the whole of Italy.

I am happy that VAST Customers can thus see a small piece of Italy, directly from the magnificent view I enjoy from my home

Santa Monica Pier at Sunset

363 megapixels! A very high resolution, large-format VAST photo print of Santa Monica pier at sunset with the beach and Pacific Ocean; photograph created by Jim Tarpo in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California.

Santa Monica, California

The famous Santa Monica Pier had been on my radar for some time. It is one of the most often displayed shots of the Los Angeles area. Any time there is a televised professional sporting event nearby, this iconic pier with the small amusement park is often part of the promotional footage of the telecast.

I waited for a clear day with an interesting sky, which we get quite regularly in the winter months. More of a bonus, was not having to make a special trip of two hours in Los Angeles traffic to get the shot, only to find a fogged in coast or other non-optimum condition. I happened to be on my way down from central California, so it was convenient stop along the way.

I took several variations of the Santa Monica Pier from this viewpoint, as the sun was setting, because I was not sure what scene was going to be the best. At approximately 5:20pm, The sky started to turn color and the entire area developed a beautiful glow. This version captures the activity level at its fullest, including the seagulls, the roller coaster, and the people lining the pier while enjoying all of the activities it has to offer.
