Almost Stranded

Uttakleiv Strand, Lofoten, NORWAY

If I could give the word sketchy a description without saying a single word, that image would be able to do just that! Uttakleiv Strand is among the prettiest places I visited in the Lofoten Islands but also on the top of the list of the most dangerous places. You may ask why? How can a cute rocky beach be that dangerous? Let me explain…

The waves at this location are coming from the far north…and they have so much momentum too! Thankfully, the big boulders will slow them down. Right? I wouldn’t 100% rely on that…I have an experience to share. As a lot of you know, Norway weather is kinda unpredictable. The ocean too can be unpredictable. Before wading on a beach, I often watch how the ocean behaves for a couple minutes. The tide prediction charts were also saying tide was going away…meaning waves shouldn’t be too high. That os what I thought…

I had my camera mounted to my tripod and I was capturing some cool long exposure images of the waves flowing the boulders. The scene was just so perfect, the sun was rising and the sky was catching some lovely hues of pink… One good thing I learned the hard way many years ago: never turn your back on the ocean! As the waves were coming in, I noticed one that didn’t seem to want to loose any momentum at all! Wait a minute…that’s a big wave! I took my tripod and camera and jumped from one boulder to the next as fast as I could to reach safe ground…that wave chased me all the way to the beach! The don’t call it Strand for no reason!

PRINT OPTIONS

Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Non-Reflective Finish

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!
