Waimea Canyon Lookout - Red Cliffs and Clouds

223 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Waimea Canyon Lookout, Kauai, Hawaii

Often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” Waimea Canyon cuts deeply into the western side of Kauai, revealing layer upon layer of volcanic rock shaped by erosion, rainfall, and the collapse of the ancient shield volcano that formed the island. Its red cliffs, green valleys, and dramatic ridgelines make it one of Hawaii’s most striking inland landscapes.

The forecast for this morning promised clear skies and strong sunrise light ideal conditions for photographing the canyon’s color and depth. I hiked down to the overlook in the dark expecting exactly that. Instead, as the first light reached the rim, a storm began to drift toward us. What should have been a bright morning quickly shifted into something far moodier.

Just before the rain reached the lookout, the pre-dawn light combined with the darkening sky to reveal a rare scene: grey storm clouds pressing into the canyon while the red rock and bright green vegetation still held their color. Minutes after I captured this VAST image, the rain closed in and visibility dropped to nothing.

The unexpected weather created a unique interpretation of Waimea Canyon one defined by contrast, atmosphere, and the fleeting moment before the storm arrived.

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.
