On a perfectly clear day I searched for an effective vantage point to capture the entirety of the Golden Gate bridge. I settled on a location just a few yards from an old coastal gun battery called Battery Wagner. You can certainly tell that it had been idle for quite some time. In fact it was deactivated in 1917 when the 5" guns were needed overseas in WWII.

From 4:00pm to 8:00pm on Sept 13, 2019 at an excellent viewpoint I was able to capture this huge image of the bridge nicely illuminated by the sun in the late afternoon. The gargantuan boat fron the NYK line international shipping company was an impressive site to see, and a great accent to this photo.

I was feeling a great sense of anticipation about the shoot throughout the day after I had decided on the location. And sure enough the fully exposed late day sun lit that bridge up and brought out the full classic red-orange color in exactly the way I thought it would.

Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity

Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating

Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
