The Giant Forest

207 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
The Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park

The Giant Forest is home to more than 2,000 giant sequoia trees and is one of the best places in the park to see big trees. Large Sequoia trees only grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The groves start around 6,000 feet above sea level.

As you might imagine 2,000 massive sequoias take up a lot of space and this groove is truly massive. It boasts the largest tree in the world, the General Sherman. Moro Rock, a massive granite dome that stands thousands of feet above the highway below. Tokopah Falls, a wonderful waterfall and classic Sierra Nevada scenery, meadows, trials and so much more.

I wanted to capture the essence of this location and spent hours hiking around the forest. In the late afternoon the light becomes software and washes through the forest canopy. This VAST image consists of 42 photos, focused on a 2,000 year old tree with a soft forest in the background. You can see every bit of detail in the amazing thick bark of the tree that has protected it from fire, floods, and freezing winters.

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.
