A unique, one-of-a-kind, Award Winning
32"L x 18"T HD Matte Metal Image
For Just $425.00
On our 4th day in Iceland (out of the 10 days we were in Iceland) we drove north from the coast to a location where we hoped to get an epic sunrise. While it was a beautiful spot, we unfortunately had cloudy, overcast skies (and no sunrise) with unrelenting wind gusts up to 40 mph making for a very disappointing and frigid cold morning.
That's Iceland.
On our way back to our Air B&B in Vik, we saw a sign for Gluggafoss Falls, and we all said, "Why not?".
Most of the waterfalls in Iceland are mobbed with tourists, even in late October, which makes photographing them a challenge. Of course, everyone has a right to be at any sight in Iceland!
Gluggafoss was different. It's not right along the Ring Road (Route 1 that circles Iceland) and few people even know about it, apparently. The whole time we were there, we saw maybe 6 other people who came and went.
Gluggafoss Falls has created a gorge which blocked most of the wind making this a wonderful location. It was one of my favorite locations of the trip because of this with just the sheer beauty of it all.
This image is an award winning, 30 second image. This long exposure turned this raging river - coming from the upper falls off to the left of the image to the 4 side-by-side lower falls just to the right - into smooth 'pudding'.
I don't use auto-preview with my camera (it's a battery drain) but I did look at every image I made there since I knew I'd probably never return to this location.
When I saw this image on my camera it was an "Oh Yeah" moment; as I could see it would be a very special and unique image.
When I got the HD Matte Metal I was blown away with the surreal details and the serene feeling it gave.
HD Matte Metal is by far the superior way to enlarge images for wall art with tremendous detail and ZERO reflections. Reflections in this image would ruin it.
Framed prints with glass, even 'museum' glass, and gloss metal or gloss acrylic - which every photo lab has as standard - are nothing more than high priced mirrors interrupting your viewing pleasure.
That's why we offer HD Matte Metal first and foremost - for your best viewing experience.
On display is a 32" x 18' Image for $425.00.
Of course, it can be made 16" x 9" for $125.00,
48" x 27" for $937.00,
or even up to 60" x 33.75" for $1,426.00
- just as long as the height-to-width ratio is the same - or it would need to be cropped...
But where/what would you crop out of this image? I wouldn't.
My lab can make it ANY size (up to 60") - even in fractions of an inch - with no issue at all!
And the 60" x 33.75" would be incredible in a larger space and should cost $2,140.00!
