Lightning over Smithsonian butte with a small barn in the foreground.

Smithsonian Thunder

Zion National Park, Utah

Smithsonian Butte is a large mountainous structure on the foothills of Zion National Park. On this evening I was photographing sunning wildflowers and thunderclouds over Zion. On the way home this lightning storm was billowing up south of the park. Pulling off to the side of the road, I pulled out the Telephoto and lined up this little hay barn and just began photographing. Over the course of 30 minutes I was able to catch a handful of lightning bolts. In the end I combined three images together showing the lightning over the mountains.

HD Metal Prints

Smithsonian Thunder print

Luxury fine art metal prints are todays standard for presenting fine art landscape photography. They are high quality, durable, and archival making them a great addition for your home. All metal prints come with a float mount and a wire hanger up to 30x45. After 30x45 I switch to a cleat mount system that provides a safer more secure method for your metal print.

If your print is going to be within a room with significant amount of wall space dedicated to windows, I recommend printing your metal print with a matte finish to remove excessive reflection and glare. The quality of the image is still stunning, but the image lacks the reflective surface resulting in a less shiny finish.

Canvas

Canvas prints are an excellent option for individuals looking for affordable yet beautiful images for your home. Canvas prints are wrapped around a wooden frame with a wire hanger on the back for quick hanging. All images are archival.

If you already have canvas prints within your room where this image will be going, I recommend sticking with the canvas prints. If you want a more stunning and high quality viewing experience I recommend upgrading to the metal or acrylic printing option.

Luxury Acrylic Lumacrome

Smithsonian Thunder print

The Lumachrome process is engineered to overcome and surpass the limitations of traditional Fujiflex chromagenic processes and inkjet processes. Details appear to emerge in 3D from the depths of the image with the Lumachrome process thanks to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic.

Due to the in-depth process of printing, expect up to six weeks before you image is shipped.

Fine Art Luster Paper

Fine art luster paper is an affordable way to begin enjoying my work. Fine art luster paper is locally printed supporting local businesses here in the State of Utah. Images do not come matted or framed leaving the door open to how ever you want your images to be displayed.
