I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have favourites, but I would have to say this is mine. It is also my most popular print so far. Shortly after moving to the Sunshine Coast, a friend took me out sailing in Pender Harbour. It was fall so the whales were passing through and that evening we were surrounded by whale blows and tail slaps in all directions. It was just amazing! After a few hours, when the sun went down, we turned to sail home. I had JUST put my camera in it's bag when we heard a whale blow sound behind us. I quickly pulled out my camera and I am not kidding when I say I had seconds to set up and take this picture. I didn't have time to change lenses either so this was taken with my 50mm (not your typical wildlife lens). This photo is a one of a kind for so many reasons - the colours, the moon, the whale... it is a very special capture for me!

You can choose between a Lustre Photographic Print or a Fine Art Giclée Print. Please read the descriptions below!
Lustre Photographic Prints are printed on Fujifilm PD Lustre paper. This creates a beautiful image with a slight sheen (between matte and glossy) and a slightly pebbled texture. Images have a classy, muted appearance while enhancing subtle details!
Unlike traditional photographic prints, Fine Art Prints are made using pigment inks in an inkjet process onto high quality paper. The paper has a more artistic look and feel, with a greater tonal and colour range than photographic prints. Colours are brighter and richer and images are crisp and sharp. I use Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright White paper. It is extremely resistant to ageing and offers the highest life expectancy of several hundred years. The permanence of the print, i.e. the colour adherence is ink dependent and with UV resistant inks (pigmented inks) can last for more than 100 years. Fine Art prints are more delicate than photographic prints and should be handled with care.
Please note there may be a slight variation in colour due to callibration differences between your monitor and the printer.
