Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Photographic Story
I have attempted this shot at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado many times over the years. It took many tries to time this scene. Whether the colors were dull, the wind was too much, or the sky was boring, something always kept me from getting the shot I wanted. After a number of years, I finally managed to get this shot! It was actually taken a bit after sunset. The sunset itself was muted by clouds, but they broke a little later and blue hour colors gave a different feel to the mountains. With little wind, the leaves stood still long enough to capture Bear Lake in beautiful fall glory!

Limited Edition Print Styles
I offer a number of print styles for my limited edition fine art nature photography prints. Below are the different styles you can choose from as you consider your art purchase. All formats with the exception of Fuji Crystal Archive come ready to hang as is without any need for framing, even though framing is offered on a number of formats. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding these print styles.
TruLife Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then a ready to hang TruLife acrylic print piece is the de facto standard! TruLife acrylic prints are created by face-mounting a beautiful photographic print such as Lumachrome HD or FujiFlex behind TruLife crystal clear acrylic glass. Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and acrylic. The final product is finished with a recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame perfect for any home or office.
ROMA Framed Lumachrome (Ready to Hang)
For those wanting something truly spectacular, I offer TruLife acrylic prints framed with Italian hand-made ROMA moulding frames in a variety of styles. Most styles come available in 2", 3" and 4" widths, coupled with white or black linen liners. Framed pieces can also come without a linen liner if you prefer to let the artwork and frame stand out more. ROMA moulding frames are hand crafted in popular styles such as Arber, Tabacchino and Moda lines. The default frame style is ROMA Tabacchino Dark Ash, which is also the most popular of frame choices. Other options are available upon request.
Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)
Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Larson Juhl framed Chromaluxe metal prints are available upon request.
Gallery Plaque Mount Prints (Ready to Hang)
Both elegant and modern in feeling, gallery plaque mount prints are a beautiful addition to my print medium options. Printed on a glossy surface, they are mounted to MDF board and beleved with a black edge. A mini backing is added to the board, allowing the print to float off the wall. Larson Juhl framed gallery plaque mount prints are available upon request.
Archival Canvas Prints (Ready to Hang)
The canvas prints I offer are not only archival, but showcase better colors, clarity, vibrance and sharpness than other canvas prints out there. If you want that classic canvas look but with lots of quality, this is it! While these canvases come ready to hang as-is, you can also add an external ROMA frame if desired for a touch of luxury. Canvas prints and ROMA framed canvas prints are available upon request.
Archival Paper Prints (Ready to Frame)
I offer my limited edition images on a number of archival paper prints up to 45" in width. Default paper prints are Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl paper prints, with it's pearl-like appearance. With incredible satured color and amazing clarity, it's an exceptional silver halide photographic paper. For a less glossy look, I also offer Kodak archival papers. These prints are mounted onto 2mm styrene to keep them protected until you can have them framed. For an small fee, you can upgrade to Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag cotton paper if desired.
