Field Notes Print Info


I created this image after a strong storm blasted through at Temperance River State Park in MN one late august evening.

We were camped next door to the park and were watching radar and waiting out the storm in the camper. The satellite imagery didn’t look so good – nothing but clouds behind the system. We figured we were pretty much stuck in the camper for the evening when I noticed some brighter light coming through the window.

When I separated the blinds and peeked out, I was treated to one of the coolest rainbows I’d ever seen – just floating over the lake!

Well, we busted out of the camper and raced to the park, practically running down to the beach and to a location I had scouted out a few days before.

I quickly scrambled around trying to decide on the perfect spot, then set up the gear and started shooting. A cold wave would occasionally wash up and soak my legs, but I didn’t even notice. I was too busy trying to capture this incredible scene unfolding in front of my eyes!

Not only was there a piece of rainbow in the scene, but they sky was a show in and of itself! I love the fantastic colors you get when you mix sunset and storms! In this case, it was an amazing yellow color at first (as seen in the photo), then later it went to red (but by then the rainbow was long gone).

This was my favorite of the night, I hope you enjoy it too!

About Our Prints....

We currently sell both individual prints and completely framed and ready-to-hang prints. Our framed prints are professionally matted, mounted and framed.

Here's a sample of our basic mat and frame:

Framed prints purchased though us are generally a better deal than taking a loose print to your local frame shop since we have a pretty significant discount that we pass along to you. When you receive your print in the mail, it's ready to hang and even comes with the hardware for doing so.

Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.


Warranty

Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.


Signature

All prints are signed in one of the lower corners (usually the right hand corner).


Delivery

Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.


Discounts

We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.

Thanks for your interest!

    Re: “Rainbow after the storm”

    It would be nice to see the ‘before’ editing photo of this one.

    I think then we’d be rating the photo, not the post processing that followed.

      The above is a pretty good representation of the scene and what we saw. The light was incredible to be sure.

      Also, keep in mind that I shoot RAW, so unlike most cameras shooting JPEGS, my camera doesn’t do its own post processing. So, to look at my RAW files, you’d think the scene above was flat and colorless – not a true representation of what was there. Post processing HAS to be done in order to show you what I saw.
