Portrait photo of John Freeman, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
John Freeman

The Avenue of Flags commemorates all 50 states and the US Territories. I had seen several shots from this location with the flags and had always thought it would make a great Gigapixel image if one could be there at a time with few people and no wind.

This particular morning I was waiting at the gate at 5am when they opened the gate. I first shoot a sunrise panorama at the far end of the avenue. As I was packing up to leave I noticed that there was almost no breeze and very few people. I quickly sat my camera rig up at a location I could capture the entire avenue.

I had to take several pauses during the shooting to wait for people to get out of my frame or an occasional breeze that would set the flags to waving. A total of 767 images went into creating 90 focus stacked images that were then stitched to create the final 2,607 megapixel panorama.

Canvas print

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. 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.

Produced using a specialty, large-format fine art printer operating at 300ppi resolution—the gold standard for sharpness
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
Handmade by award-winning master printmakers with over 4 decades of experience
Optionally accompanied by your choice of elegant floater frame available in a variety of trims

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.
