Eclipse
Some images are captured in such a small amount of time that you don't know how cool a shot is until you get home and reviews the morning's images on the large computer screen.
About This Image:
One summer morning I (Todd) was shooting at the Wedge in Newport Beach and stayed in the water a little later than normal. Usually when the sun rises, the light is so bright and it makes it almost impossible to get a decent shot when taking images aiming towards the east - the bright sun blows all the colors out. So I usually get out of the water and consider the photography session over once the sun shows up in full force after getting some images shooting west. This particular morning, I didn't get out of the water quickly and took some shots of some Wedge waves coming right at me. What I didn't notice until I looked through the images later in the day was that my camera snagged this amazing image of the wave just blocking the sun enough - the light wasn't overwhelming and the color was amazing. This shot is a favorite of ours and others who see it. The Wedge, Newport Beach.
Each Westphoria piece is made to order and printed on 9.5 Mil, 250 gsm premium-quality semi-glossy / luster photo paper with a resin coating that makes it feel thicker, heavier, and more durable than mass-marketed photo papers. The coating helps eliminate glare and visibility of fingerprints, so the ink colors come through vividly with no interference from smudges or smears.
Prints use a giclee printing process on color-calibrated Canon printers using aqueous pigment inks that resist fading for 100+ years.
Our premium solid wood frames come with optical-grade clear acrylic glass. Our mats are made from 4-ply white matboards with an attractive bevel at 45 degrees. The back of the frame includes a kraft paper dust cover. Hanging hardware included.
Everything is made and assembled in the US. Framed prints come fully assembled and ready to display on your wall.
