“Acadian Spruce Forest #9”, in Acadia National Park, Maine, is offered as a custom fine art color photographic print, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

I captured this subject Fuji RDP II 4×5 transparency film, to capture the texture and detail of the mature trees and the subtle colors of the underlings and mossy floor peaking through. This particular Spruce forest has many elements of an old growth forest such as the deep soft and mossy floor that usually comes from 100’s of years of being undisturbed. Unless the trees growth is so slow due to the proximity to the Atlantic, being true old growth does not seem possible. Perhaps a very selective cutting a century ago left enough younger trees to keep the perma-shade of a dense canopy intact to protect from loss of the thick fertile forest floor. Regardless, this small area of Spruce forest is unique and has offered me several intimate landscapes of a few decades.

In the deep shade under these conifers canopy, longer shutter speeds are required when trying to keep everything in focus. The challenge is that Spruce trees sway undetectable in even a slight breeze so they will blur at even a quarter of a second exposure. For this image, a for second exposure was required and awaiting stillness required patience. Successful, sharp images have not always in this particular forest but on that day, I was able to capture this image in both landscape and portrait orientations in color and in B&W.

This limited Edition Print will be Signed and Numbered. Pricing includes the print only with a white border and includes free shipping unless otherwise noted. This Print Requires Framing (see detailed info below).

Description

“Acadian Spruce Forest #9” is offered as a limited edition, color fine art photographic print. I captured this subject in Acadia National Park, Maine on Fujifilm RDPII 4×5 transparency film with an Ebony 4×5 view camera and 135mm APO Rodenstock Sironar S APO lens.

The drum scan of the 4×5 transparency assures print sizes to 44 x 55 are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances. All images are as I saw them and imaged with only color, brightness, shadow and contrast & local light and shadow adjustments, just as I did in the darkroom. 

This is a museum quality fine art print in Color. There is also a black and white version of this image taken with B&W sheet film available in the Black and White Intimate Landscapes collection.

    Included in Your Print Purchase:

  • Pricing includes the print only, shipped flat to 16 x 20 or rolled in a tube mailer for larger sizes.

    • Framing, Presentation and Preservation:

  • All prints will require a frame, glass and backing material that matches print size. (Frames usually come 1/8” oversized to accommodate the glass, print and backing, please verify.)
  • Borderless Framing (meaning no cut matboard): All prints include a white border containing the number and signature.
  • Again, the white borders of the print assure that a cut mat board is not required for framing an Archival Print.
  • Acid Free white foamcore is a good choice for backing in .25” thickness. An Acid Free matboard is optional between the backer board and the print.
  • Glass Options (“the Glazing”): Classic AR Glass, Museum Glass or other UV glass or a UV Acrylic as the “Glazing” (again meaning Glass) is highly recommended for UV protection and to protect the print. Classic AR Glass and Museum Glass are Anti-Reflective which greatly enhances viewing the print.
  • No spray or coating is required or recommended on any of our prints, please refrain from any such treatment.
  • Other Framing Options: We can help with the framing in several molding styles and glazing options or steer you in the right direction for the perfect framing materials that assure archival print endurance.
