Heading south on Hwy 101 past Pismo Beach after a weekend in central California I caught a glimpse of something interesting along the coast. the view was mostly blocked by trees but I felt that it was worth a quick look and exited immediately at Price street and backtracked north a bit. This was not a “photographing trip” but as always I did have my gear. It was soon obvious to me that I’d be a bit late getting home. This composition captures the fantastic detail of this obviously quite popular rock formation just off the coast. With the many seabirds blanketing the entire surface, and the pelicans swarming about, the show that these flying creatures put on at this location is the best that I’ve personally witnessed here on the west coast. I’m pretty thrilled any time I’m walking along the coast and group of pelicans are gliding in perfect formation right over my head, but at this location the action was continuous. In the future I’ll have to stop here every time I’m passing through.

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.
