Papawai Lookout Sunset

616 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Papawai Lookout, Maui, Hawaii

This overlook is nestled away along Honoapiilani Highway on the island of Maui. It is quite famous December-April for whale watching. From here you can also see the neighboring islands of Kaho’olawe, Molokini, and Lanai. In the distance in this photo you can see the sun setting behind the island of Lanai across the stunningly beautiful blue waters Hawaii is famous for.

To create this VAST photo I had to climb down a rather sheer cliff on the side of the highway and make my way through high grass hiding sharp lava rock underneath. Like many of my sunset and sunrise photos I had to work quickly to take all 55 photos that comprise this image. The light was changing every minute and I wanted to capture the sunset with the light still touching the foreground. There was just enough cloud cover at the horizon to defuse the sun enough to allow me to capture all the photos needed.

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.
