The Obelisk

Windows District, Utah, USA

People go to Arches National Park to see arches...right? Well not me!… In the Windows District, there is that obelisk shaped rock formation that has always been talking a lot to me! I knew I had to find a way to photograph it. And since nobody had photograph it yet, I was getting even more excited to find a proper way to compose it. I went for a vertical composition and used some small shrub plants in my foreground. the repetition of plants also brings our eyes further into the frame. And what else to say about the light than wow! But while driving there, I instead decided to make a left turn towards the Windows. It was still dark so I couldn’t see much. Going to Delicate Arch for sunrise requires a bit of spare time to actually hike to the arch. When I got to the Windows, I immediately went for the arch in an arch composition from a few post ago. Both this image and the arch in an arch shot were done on the same morning actually. But when I saw the clouds and when the sky looked like towards the east, I was seriously starting to get upset about the decision I made of going to the Windows. I couldn’t "waste" such a sunrise! I started walking around and saw the potential of this obelisk shaped rock and decided to give this guy a chance! And in the end, I was super happy with this quite unique composition! Not sticking to my original plans on that morning and go for something more spontaneous definitely paid off! And I had the whole place for myself with made it even more enjoyable! As a landscape photographer, I’d say that planning things in advance will most of the time be the best thing to do but every once in a while, it truly is fun and rewarding to listen to the inner voices pushing us to go the opposite way!

Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Non-Reflective Finish

The Obelisk print

Definitely a favorite of mine! First of all, it looks absolutely gorgeous! It’s a very slick and modern looking product! Metallic paper is used as a medium on which the image is first printed. This type of paper makes the colors of the image look deeper and more vibrant! With my Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Prints, the print itself is sandwiched between a clear 1/8″ acrylic and a 1/8″ aluminum backing. The addition of the acrylic in front of the print adds so much depth to the image, giving it an almost 3D feel. It’s not a 3D print…but the acrylic gives an effect of depth. On the back of the Artwork is a mounted aluminium backing on which a slim square aluminium frame will be mounted. This frame not only serves at adding rigidity to the Artwork but it also allows us to install all the necessary mounting hardware for a super easy and hassle free ready to hang installation to your wall. If you plan on hanging you investment in a reflection sensitive area, NON-REFLECTIVE is definitely the way to go! As the name says, NON-REFLECTIVE basically means it will be reflection free.

•Please note that if you wish to purchase an Artwork with specific dimensions that aren't listed on my website, feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to assist you in the process as I will need to create a new product variant specially for you. I am always happy to make sure that my customers are 100% satisfied!

The mounting process is the same as the NON-REFLECTIVE FINISH except we use a CLEAR ACRYLIC instead of a non reflective one. You will have some reflections with clear acrylic but the blacks will also be slightly deeper. The same Metallic paper will be used as a medium.
