First Signs of Winter

146 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
San Juan Mountains, Colorado

Fall weather in the San Juan's of South Western Colorado can be unpredictable. I had gone out on County Road 7 early in the morning, hoping to catch some sunrise shots of Mt. Sneffels and surrounding mountains. As I was heading into the back country, it was apparent that an early fall storm was in the process of moving in. This location was my targeted spot for the morning shot. By the time I arrived, dark clouds had moved in, and the lighting was pretty dark. This image is shoot facing south. Because the clouds were moving in from the South West, the skies to the east and behind me to the north were still clear, allowing brighter light to illuminate the fall colors of the Aspens in the foreground.

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.

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.
