Limited Edition Of 200
Diamonds In The Sky
Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park is where my night photography exploration first began back in 2007. At this time I only had an entry-level camera, but still wanted to experiment with capturing the feeling of being under the vast night sky. It was always so peaceful out there, just me and the stars. Between old camera technology and my lack of composition knowledge, this only allowed a conceptual image that night. However, the seed had been planted…
Fast forward 15 years, and I was back at the same location during the summer solstice, still trying to photograph what I referred to as my “holy grail” night image. Over the years, I developed skills to better understand how to showcase this scene and also now had a camera designed to properly capture and showcase the milky way in all its glory. Not only did the stars and planets have to align on this night, but the wind had to die down completely. Even the slightest hint of a breeze wouldn’t allow the faint stars to be seen in the reflection. Finally, all the elements came together as Jupiter and Saturn revealed themselves in the early hours, like diamonds in the sky. What an experience to not only witness but photograph this fleeting moment during the darkest part of the night, on the longest day of the year.

The Process Behind Fine Art Aluminum
White Aluminum: All of our pieces are made using a special printing process where ink is heat transferred directly onto a single sheet of white aluminum. We use this aluminum due to the luminescence of the metal surface and guarantee of lasting a century without any fading. The finished product has a brightness, colour vibrancy and clarity that cannot be rivalled with any other printing technique. Each piece also comes with a backing that gives the photo depth and allows it to float elegantly on your wall.
Finish: Each piece is finished with a unique Anti-Reflective coating developed specifically for fine art photography. The anti-reflective finish is perfect for a wide range of lighting situations while still producing a bright and vibrant image. The finish also includes a special UV coating to fully protect the piece from exposure to direct sunlight.

All of our pieces come ready to hang with wall bracket mounts or a wire connected to the frame on the back. More information on hanging can be found on our FAQ page.
What does ‘Limited Edition’ mean?
Limited Edition means there will only ever be 200 pieces (any size) produced of Diamonds In The Sky. As the piece sells, the price increases. Once the edition sells out, there will never be another reprint of this photograph.
