Forest in the rain
Valgioie, Piedmont, Italy
This VASTphoto represents a very suggestive small part of a beautiful wood that is located a few minutes from my house, in the small mountain village of Valgioie, located in the Piedmont region in the North West of the Italian Alps.
I took advantage of a few rainy days, long awaited after four months of absolute drought and wind, to be able to immortalize, with a very high resolution photo, this part of the undergrowth where there are many birches and young pines, which share the territory with huge boulders present since the last glaciation and which have become real natural monuments.
To make this photo I took many photos with a macro lens using the focus stacking technique, so as to have both the foreground and background parts in perfect focus, so that you can enjoy the view of the finest details of the forest and the trees. and on their trunks, than on the rocks, than on the grass.
You will also notice that, as a light rain was falling, everything was wet (trees, foliage and ground) and this also increased the contrasts and natural colors of the scene (I applied very little post-production to the photo, it was already all right so at the time of the shooting the scene). The breeze present during the rain made the soaked leaves move delicately, so that you will see in the photo the same immortalized in their movement.

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 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.
