White Sky and Black Trees

$50 – $250

Stuck in freeway traffic, suddenly I came to a halt. Looking out my door window, I saw these trees with the white fog and brown hills with an unobstructed view. Quickly, I rolled my window down and shot the picture. I’m taking less time composing and setting up shots relying exclusively on my phone camera which is always at my side. It’s a subtle image, I really like the white sky against the distinct trees and brush.

Description

I spend considerable time with an image in Photoshop to get the tonal values that I seek and where needed to emphasis or de-emphasize specific parts of the image. On a standard camera, depth of field, motion and light are more directly controllable. On a cellphone camera, there are ways to simulate this control but I’m more interested in getting what I’m after in post production, trusting my gut more on what I initially choose to shoot.

Archival-Quality Prints: A Century of Timeless Beauty

These are more than just images—they’re lifelong companions. Printed to meet museum-grade archival standards, each piece is crafted using the finest materials to last over 100 years with proper care.

Why It Matters:

  • Exceptional Longevity
    Your print is made to endure, preserving its rich tones and detail for generations when stored and displayed correctly.

  • Care Tips to Protect Your Print:

    • Unframed Prints: Store flat in an archival-quality box or portfolio.

    • Framed Prints: Use UV-filtering acrylic glazing, archival matting, and acid-free adhesives.

    • Display Location: Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain color vibrancy and surface quality.
