Fine Art Giclée Print Store

For a number of years the website has had its own print store selling framed Fine Art Giclée Prints. As part of an update to the website, the store has been temporairly close while a redesign of the print store takes place.

The biggest change will be that framed prints will no longer be sold due to the cost and inconvience of shipping. Instead the store will sell Fine Art Giclée Prints in three different finishes – lustre, gloss and metallic. Other print finishes may be made available at a later date.

Later additions to the store will include photobooks and photozines. Currently, only orders from the United Kingdom are to be accepted via the upcoming website shop. This may change in future however.

The print store will reopen in the late summer.

RedBubble and TeePublic

Prints are still available from the print stores of RedBubble and TeePublic providing framed prints, canvas prints and other items with delivery availableto the UK, USA, Asia, Australia and Europe.

A Glimpse of Colour

It seems to have been a long, dark winter (not helped by events in the news) but finally the signs of Spring and an approaching summer have started to appear. Even more opportunities to get out and about and see what images can be made. Fortunately a trip into the Scottish Borders delivered a impressive long walk and some great scenery with a few surprises.

Lost Track

My leanings towards black and white images continues on from the Northumberland images of last year with the first image ‘The horses of Hassedean’ being an excellent start. The horses were spotted during the mid section of the walk but it was the unusually shaped field behind them that really stood out. The field marks the route of a long closed railway line from Hawick (pronounced Hoyk) to Carlisle as part of the Waverley line. The Hawick to Carlisle section of the line opened in 1862 and operated for just over a hundred years until its closure in 1969 as a result of the Beeching Report.

What Colour?

Considering the title of the post, there isn’t very colour to be seen so far. Very true. I’m enjoying the monochrome adventure I’m currently having though. It’s like getting acquainted with an old friend again reminding me of my TMAX, FP4 and HP5 film days. The colour images will, however, be posted later including the colour version of the above photograph.

Lindisfarne

Over the past week or so I’ve been working on the black and white images from the Northumberland trip in December. I’ve been pleased with the results. The image taken on Lindisfarne seen below is probably my favourite and the strongest of the bunch, even managing to catch two Northumberland castle in one image!. On the left is Lindisfarne Castle and on the right, way off on the horizon is the imposing silhouette of Bamburgh Castle.

Back to Selenium

Back in my darkroom days, selenium toner was my toner of choice for new prints. The powerful combination of Agfa Record Rapid and selenium toner was just unbeatable for quality and warmth. After a long period of adding copper toner in Photoshop, Just recently I’ve gone over to digital selenium. So far I’m liking the colder, silvery tones that photoshop produces though I think I need to experiment a little more to refine the tone. The Lindisfarne Causeway image uses selenium rather than the copper featured in the other two images.
