• Sunrise at ‘il-Mitqub’, the amazing headland with a sea tunnel in Qrendi, Malta.
  I wanted to shoot ‘il-Mitqub’ (meaning ‘hollowed out’) at sunrise since I shot it for the first time back in 2014. This image was taken the morning after my Qarraba Sunset II. The odds of getting amazing skies like these, two times in a row are very few.
  
  I like to be on location at least 1 hr before Sunrise. The sky was already full of scattered clouds which filled up all the frame. This was enough for me, as on my pervious visits I was not so lucky. For the wide angle panorama I had in mind, only a sky full of clouds would cut it. The wind was also quite calm and had no rain. Sea was great! with just enough movement to capture some waves brushing the shoreline.
  
  By sunrise more storm clouds packed in, filling the sky completely! and oh my, when the Sun broke through! what amazing light I witnessed and captured.
  
  Panorama of 5 images in 1 row.
  Captured on the 5th of February, 2019..

• Our prints are produced on high quality Fine Art Smooth Cotton 300gsm paper. Smooth Cotton is an acid and lignin free paper made of 100% cotton, making it archival and perfect for giclée printing. The paper has a matte, velvet finish and we specifically chose this paper as it yields high saturated colours with no reflections, making it ideal to be displayed behind glass. In fact, matte paper is the easiest to view in all lighting conditions with richer blacks and more vibrant colours.
  
  Giclée printing is the combination of high resolution inkjet printing technology, K3 pigment based inks and archival fine art paper. The result is a superior quality, finer resolution print with more accurate colour reproduction. The combination of pigment based inks and archival paper gives the prints a long life-time. Pigment inks are more stable and thus resist fading much longer than dye-based inks. If properly stored or displayed, a pigment-based print on quality paper can last a 150 years and more.
  
  A 2” (50mm) white border is added to the prints to facilitate handling and framing.
• Please note that we ship unframed fine art prints and gallery blocks worldwide.
  Custom framing is only available for Malta orders.
  
  Custom Framing
  Our frames are custom made for each order and we offer four kinds of frame profiles - a smooth finish and a wood textured finish in black and white. All are deep box frames, helping the overall finished framed fine art print to stand out. Read more about Our Custom Framing here.
  The wood textured box frame is 15mm wider than the clean/smooth finish box frame and is therefore recommended for the larger sized prints.
  
  Gallery Blocks
  For those who want a finish with no glass, a gallery block is a giclée print, mounted inside a 40 mm deep frame with a slim 6 mm border around the photo. A matt lamination film layer is added on top of the print, protecting it from dust and scratches. This enables you to carefully wipe the print with a damp cloth, without damaging the artwork. Read more about Our Gallery Blocks here.
