Dolphins at Sunset 64 x 38cm

Limited Edition, Signed and Framed Print. Limited Edition of 75.

The story behind the image

The sun was dipping below the horizon when a small group of common dolphins joined us, as we sailed past Maria Island, east coast of Tasmania. The dolphins were fast, and they were not that close, forcing me to work with a long lens. My camera was struggling to focus in the low light levels. But the low-angle of the light, picking out the detail on a turbulent sea, and the glistening dolphins slicing through the white horses, made for a compelling it.

The image

The photograph was taken using a Nikon full-frame camera coupled with an 80-400mm Nikon lens.

The Prints.

I've limited the run of prints of this image at this size to 75.

The full size is 50 x 34cm (19.7 x 13.4 inches) including a 3cm white border, so image size is approx. 44 x 28cm.

It is produced on Canson Infinity Baryta 310gsm paper. I specifically chose this paper because of its exceptional ability to faithfully replicate colour and vividness, its great longevity and its barium sulphate coating. This aids capture of intricate details and definition in the print, has excellent archival qualities and helps in replicating the look of traditional darkroom prints. A black lacquered wooden frame and acrylic glass protect the picture from scratches and UV light.

Signature, Limited Edition Label and Certificate of Authenticity

Each print comes with a unique, micro-embossed, Limited Edition Label signed by me. This is attached on the reverse of the picture, with details of the print method, print size, unique ID, date of print and number in edition run. The print also comes with a separate Certificate of Authenticity which contains all the label information plus a thumbnail image of the print, a unique, traceable, certificate ID, and further information about the artwork and myself.
