I am extremely proud of this photo. I always thought that VAST photos were only possible during strong daylight. The blue hour certainly provides more beautiful colors, but try to take more than a hundred razor sharp photos in about 20 minutes of twilight. A cold wind blows and the lens shakes during longer exposures. But I am a maximalist and nothing will stop me.
Ballstad, with about a thousand inhabitants, is one of the many fishing villages on the coast of the Lofoten archipelago. Life is not easy here, mother nature rules here. The photo is from the side of the Ballstadheia mountain. Be sure to check it out sometime.

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.
A VAST Printâ„¢ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium.

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