Shot on: Nikon Z7/NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6 E PF
One of my all-time favorite images. Captured on a Christmas Eve hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon, the intermittent squalls pushing through the canyon met with sunbursts from the breaking clouds creating some of the best light I’ve ever worked with as a photographer. This distant landscape with backcountry ski tracks leading the eyes to the trees that almost appear intentionally placed by an artist painting an imaginary scene. Luckily I had my 500mm lens handy to bring the intimate details of this scene to life from a great distance. One of many examples of why supertelephoto lenses are vastly underrated for landscape photography.

Print format tips (see video below for in-depth explanation)
Note: Prints ship roughly 7-10 days from the order date and should arrive at your home within about 2 weeks (give or take a few days). Please allow additional time for supplier-based delays with the framed prints.
HD Metal: Printed on a Chromaluxe aluminum panel using heat sublimation technology. Mounted on a back floating frame. This format has a high-gloss, premium finish with an industrial aesthetic. Ideal for maximizing color depth and contrast. Slightly less glare than you will encounter on the acrylic prints. Like the acrylic prints, these prints respond great to special lighting to create a gallery ambiance but also pack an impressive punch in any well-lit room.
Acrylic: Similar high gloss premium finish as the HD Metal, however printed under 1/8” thick optically clear acrylic glass with the same back floating frame as the HD Metal prints. With its crystal clear, true-to-reality finish, acrylic prints are ideal for preserving all of the ultra fine details in a photograph. When combined with special lighting (overhead picture lights, spotlights, etc), these prints will explode with vibrance and luminescence to give an unmatched sense that you are there in person. They also look fantastic in any well-lit room.
Canvas: These are printed directly onto a canvas surface and stretched onto a wooden frame to give a clean, frameless wrap-around look. This highly versatile print format is a great option if you wish to avoid glare or if you are looking for the artistic texturized quality of canvas. These are also slightly easier to handle and transport than the other options, not to mention more affordable.
Loose print: Printed on fine art matte paper. This gives you the flexibility to frame or mount the print as you please. Take extra caution not to bend or damage these until you get them properly framed and protected.
Framed print: Printed on fine art matte paper with an acrylic glass front. Offered in 4 standard stylish framing options, all of which are priced and designed the same: black, white, oak, and charcoal brown. The frames are 2 inches wide with a minimalist flat design, and thus you should account for an extra 4 inches in width and height when determining the print size. For example, if you are ordering a 36”x24” print, the external dimensions of the final product will be 40”x28”.
