Limited Edition Of 75
The Afterglow
I grew up driving past the iconic slope of Mount Rundle on a regular basis as a child, heading deep into the mountains with my family for weekend adventures. I would exclaim “Mount Slanty!” each time, referencing the sloping face of the mountain.
Fast forward many years later and, as a photographer, I knew I wanted to find a unique way to capture this impressive mountain. On this day I headed to the Mt Norquay ski hill which sits high above the Town of Banff and provides breathtaking views of the valley. I hiked a few kilometers along the mountain to find a clear view of the slope of Mount Rundle and set up my camera. Sunset was blazing that evening which resulted in a pink glow throughout the valley even after the sun had set. I refer to this phenomenon as The Afterglow. This shot was captured 40 minutes after sunset with a six minute exposure, allowing the single cloud that was above Mount Rundle to slowly float through the frame. This technique provides the soft painterly background while maintaining the sharp focus of the mountain.

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.

Limited Edition means there will only ever be 75 pieces (any size) produced of The Afterglow. As the piece sells, the price increases. Once the edition sells out, there will never be another reprint of this photograph.
