DC Dreams
This 73-megapixel VAST photo is one of the highest definition fine art photographs ever created, with a resolution equivalent to 35 full-HD TVs.
Washington DC's streetlights have a warmer hue than most other cities, causing the gloaming to have a more orange/red/purple color than usual. Additionally, because the city has less light pollution than other equally-important cities due to its smaller scale, the stars are visible earlier in the evening. Combine all of these elements and you have a recipe for a dreamy image.
VAST photos are the highest resolution fine art images ever made.

THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS EVER CREATED
VAST Prints are fine art photographic paper prints that arrive ready to be mounted and/or framed. They are created using the sharpest photographic printer in commercial use: a very rare specialty printer that formerly printed currency and military surveillance imagery. Learn more
Every VAST Print has two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one affixed to the print and one standalone. Additionally, each print is assigned a unique serial number via a permanent hologram seal and recorded in our registry. Its provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital blockchain encryption technology.
