Storm over Abó

Abó, New Mexico

Late afternoon monsoon clouds build over the Manzano Mountains and the Salt Trail Ruins in Abó, New Mexico. This photo is an example of a high dynamic range setting, where the highlights in the sky are far brighter than the backlit ruins. In order to capture this scene - in other words, in order to simultaneously capture the bright sky and darker ruins - I chose to use a two photo stack. To do this, I took one image where the sky is properly exposed, and another where the ruins are properly exposed. Using Lightroom software, it is very easy to blend the images seamlessly, allowing us to see what the human eye can see. I never import fake skies to create scenes that never were.

ChromaLuxe™ Metal Prints

ChromaLuxe™ Metal Prints

ChromaLuxe™ HD metal prints are a visually stunning way to display your art. Unlike lower-quality metal prints, ChromaLuxe™ HD prints are made using a process of heat infusion, pressure, and time to permanently sublimate inks into the metal. This requires more time and precision, and hence costs more to produce. HD metal prints offer unparalleled reproduction of details, vibrant colors, and durability. HD Metal Prints are also surprisingly light and easy to hang with the included cleat and level. Options include matte or gloss finish; if you expect to hang your image near a bright window, consider matte for reduced glare. Mount options include a flush silver or black side, as well as a recessed aluminum float mount (floating 3/4" off the wall). Frames are available; please contact us for a quote if you are interested in framing.

Please allow three weeks for production and delivery.
