SOUTH STACK SUNSET
While working in Anglesey, Wales, I took advantage of the location to capture as much landscape photography as possible. South Stack Island, with its lighthouse and great vantage point for sunsets, is a popular location for photography. Much of the landscape here reminds me of the coastal paths at home in Cornwall, and it has long been my intention to add South StackIsland to my Welsh landscape photography portfolio.
Heading to the island for sunset, I took my time to search out spots that would provide additional features to my shots beyond whatever might happen in the sky. I found a place to the left of the island where I could capture parts of the cliffside. Coastal flowers always provide a nice detail to the foreground, particularly in this instance as the light pinks contrast against the dark grey cliffs.
Fortunately, it was a bright, bold sunset with vivid orange skies. With the sun facing directly into the camera, I waited until it had passed behind the horizon to reduce the glare and even out the lighting of the shot while still taking advantage of the vivid warm glow in the sky. I used a neutral density filter to smooth out the texture of the cloud and water and blend them together in the background.
South Stack Sunset shows the beauty of the Welsh coastline with striking pops of colour and a variety of features to catch the eye. The smallest details of the lighthouse are printed perfectly in high definition making this a great addition to your wall space.

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.
