GODREVY EMERALD TWILIGHT
Landscape Photographer of the Year - Shortlisted
N-Photo Magazine - Top 10 Astrophotography Shots
Godrevy Emerald Twilight is a fine example of some of my highly technical landscape photography.
I have a number of favoured locations when shooting around Godrevy, and this is one of them, which you will also see in my print Godrevy Passage taken at sunset.
I wanted to capture this viewpoint using astrophotography, which involved a lot of planning to map exactly the right time for a combination of low tide, clear sky and the Milky Way to be sitting directly over the lighthouse.
Having picked my way over the rocks, I had very limited natural light to work with from inside the rock formation. In these conditions I switched from automatic focus to manual and took targeted shots of the lighthouse. I then took a series of images moving my point of focus closer and closer to the rocks.
By focus-stacking all of these photographs together in one blended composition, I could create an image that maintains focus from the rockpools all the way to the lighthouse. This editing technique also brings out the fine details and texture in the starry sky and rock surfaces.
Printed on metallic gloss paper adds a beautiful shimmer to the grey rocks and emerald water, and the high print quality picks out the Milky Way in pin-sharp detail.

Further Information
+ PRINTING
Each of my images is printed using an Epson SureColor SC-P800 Printer. This printer is designed to produce high quality professional prints using UltraChrome HD ink that gives a true-to-life finish. Shadows are notably crisp against the vibrancy of the colour palettes across all size ranges of my photography.
+ PAPER
I print my images on Innova Resin Coated Photo Metallic Gloss paper which works extremely well on the Epson SureColor SC-P800 Printer. This 260gsm photo paper has a natural white base tone that contains metallic pigments in its microporous coating. Not only does it provide a high gloss finish, the pigments offer an extra dimension of subtle colour shifts under changing light conditions, and is suitable for colour and greyscale prints.
+ MOUNTBOARDS
I use white mountboards with my photographs. Bainbridge Alphamat Artcare Mounts provide art work with high quality protection from air and acid pollutants, as well as being 100% fade resistant and bleed proof.
+ FRAMING
I offer a range of glass-fronted frames in wood (Birch), and aluminium (Frosted Silver or Jet Black Polished). I have chosen these frames for their strength and quality, and because they perfectly complement the mountboards and balance my images.
+ OTHER MATERIALS
Besides these key components it is also worth noting that I use archival back boards to provide your print with further added protection, and when purchasing framed photography the mounts are secured using acid-free tape.
+ DELIVERY
Framed prints are made to order and will try and dispatch within 7 working days however this can be shorter or longer depending on workload. Ink need the time to properly set to the paper before being handled and this can take a few days.
All framed prints ship in a bespoke and secure packaging system via insured courier. I try to recycle cardboard ink within my packaging materials where I can to add to security to the shipment.
