Shieldaig has to be one of the most idyllic village locations in the highlands. The name of the village is derived from the Old Norse síld-vík, meaning 'herring bay'. I always enjoy the challenge of seeking unique perspectives of well known areas, and I identified this viewpoint as a potential location whilst cycling the coastal road to Applecross.
I made a mental note to return with my camera in early autumn, when I knew the setting sun would provide perfect side lighting over the scene. I spent a good hour arranging the foreground elements into a pleasing composition, making sure to include both the village itself as well as the Caledonian pine trees that give this area its character.
It was then a case of waiting for the right lighting conditions , and I was rewarded with a distant rainbow as the setting sun cast a golden glow across the scene.
All prints are prepared in house at the Old Butchers Gallery, using the best archival inks and printed on Fotospeed’s Natural Soft Textured Bright White paper. This is a heavyweight (310gsm), fine art paper with a smooth matt finish, specifically chosen to compliment the subtle colours of the scene.
This print is available in two sizes:
9 “× 22.5” Print area with a generous border, signed in the bottom right hand corner. Total size with border is 11.5 × 23 inches
12.6” × 31.5” Print area with a generous border, signed in the bottom right hand corner. Total size with border is 17 × 32 inches.
Please allow 3 to 4 inches on all sides for mounting and the frame on framed prints. If you have any questions regarding the sizing of a finished product, please just get in touch.
I offer 3 standard frame types as standard - Solid Oak, Black and Light Grey. All framed prints are mounted and backed using conservation grade materials and glazed using glass. Acrylic and non glare options are available, please contact me before placing an order to discuss options and prices.
If you have any special framing requirements please contact me and we can work together to come up with a solution which works best for your needs.
Print only orders will be sent wrapped in a postal tube with the print protected by a fine art tissue paper. Orders will be dispatched within a week, and delivery can be made internationally.
Framed prints will be bubble wrapped and packed for protection. As we outsource the framing process, please be aware that dispatch of a framed print can take up to 3 weeks. We regret that framed prints cannot be shipped internationally.
