Dayton Skyline at Twilight

The Story:        I captured this classic blue-hour scene during a mid-spring dry spell over the Miami Valley.  From my vantage point, the composition shows the Great Miami River as it gently passes under the city lights of the Dayton skyline.  The calm waters formed a glassy surface that not only reflects RiverScape MetroPark, but also the office windows catching the last warm colors of this early twilight scene.  Per the approach shared below, this serves as a classic Dayton Fine Art Photography art print.

The Rest of the Story:  Where Spring represents a period of rainfall over Ohio, in 2018, our Spring was fairly dry.  As a result, the Miami River wasn’t a moving muddy mass but was flowing at a lower state similar to late summer.  This produced a low energy state creating smooth surface waters.  Furthermore, I employ long exposures that tend to render water much calmer.  In this case, I used a 15-second exposure.  This image was also a learning point for me.  Twenty minutes earlier, I had just shot another signature image during a colorful sunset (See Dayton Skyline Reflecting Sunset’s Colors No. 1).  At that point, I usually pack up and head home, but I’ve learned that there is a second peak color if one is patient enough to let the hues of twilight develop.  In this case, experience allowed me to create a beautiful Dayton twilight for the city lights and Founders Point.

In all, this is one of my signature fine art prints.  Art consultants like this Daytonscape art print for several aspects.  First, they know wall decor colors quietly contribute to the feel of a room.  In this case, blue is seen as a protective color that symbolizes trust, peace, serenity, and stability.  Secondly, the subject reinforces its colors as the still winds and calm water surface produced a mirror finish on the river which calmly reflects the skyline above.  These attributes make for perfect Dayton office artwork for corporate art clients seeking to emulate the same values in their wall decor.

For those seeking Dayton art prints, either for your foyer/board room I can make this a large canvas print.  If you are seeking a webpage art or a background image for your social media page that celebrates life in Dayton, I can license the image for subsequent use.

Framed Giclee Canvas Prints

My canvas prints originate from the highest quality equipment and techniques which produce an impressively vibrant and sturdy print.  Features of My Framed Giclee Canvas Prints include:
 

  • Light Weight:  Lacking the need of glass and matting, these canvas prints are light weight
  • More Print for Your Money:  Avoiding expensive glass and matting lowers costs
  • Archival:  The pigment inks are archival rated at 95 years
  • No Gallery-wrapped Hazards:  My framed giclee canvas prints avoid the hazards of traditional gallery wrapped canvas prints (print edges easily mar and the canvas tends to relax and warp).  My canvas is mounted to a solid surface so it will never warp and the outer frame protects the print’s edges.
  • Ready to Hang.  Your canvas print comes ready to hang with single wire fastened to two sturdy D-ring hangers (quality D-rings resist wire tension vice eye hooks).  We employ a plastic-coated wire which mitigates corrosion, prevents stray strands from puncturing a finger, and permits easier leveling of frame.  In paying attention to details, we also properly wire frame with some tension which ensures canvas hangs close to wall.
  • Optional Z-bar:  For larger prints (if requested), we employ a two-piece mounting cleat in lieu of a hanging wire.  In this option, the cleat attached to the back of the print fits securely over the reverse cleat that you attached to the wall.
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark.
  • Documentation:  I attached a certificate of authenticity to the back of each print.
  • Large Canvas Prints:  Though I can produce prints up to 40 x 60 inches, shipping in sizes 30 x 45 inches and above is expensive.  If you live in the Miami Valley, reach out to me about obtaining access to these larger print sizes.
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated boxes and shipping takes an additional 3 to 5 days.

Metal Prints

People are amazed by these metal prints…from the reactions I witness at art shows and exhibitions, I call them “eye candy”.  Dye sublimation prints offer the following characteristics:
 

  • Incredibly vibrant:  My prints start with a white gloss substrate which produces vivid colors and enthusiastic comments 
  • Extremely durable:  Our printer employs verified archival materials, so if handled properly the print will last over 100 years.  
  • Cleans easily:  If cleaning is required, owners can employ soft cloth.
  • Saves money:  Unlike paper prints which require protective glass, there is no need to cover the metal surface.  With no glass, there’s no longer a need for the expensive framing, matting and labor which drives up the cost for traditional paper prints.
  • Ready to hang:  We attach mounts to the back of the metal prints which provide gallery-preferred hang points, and elevates the print off the wall producing a floating effect.  
  • Optional Z-bar:  For larger prints (if requested), we employ a two-piece mounting cleat in lieu of a hanging wire.  In this option, the cleat attached to the back of the print fits securely over the reverse cleat that you attached to the wall. 
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark. 
  • Documentation:  I attached a certificate of authenticity to the back of each print.
  • Large Metal Prints:  Though I can produce prints up to 30 x 45 inches shipping is expensive.  If you live in the Miami Valley, reach out to me about obtaining access to these larger print sizes.  
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated boxes and shipping takes an additional 3 to 5 days.

Photopaper Prints

People are amazed by these metal prints…from the reactions I witness at art shows and exhibitions, I call them “eye candy”.  Dye sublimation prints offer the following characteristics:
 

  • Archival:  Our printer employs verified archival materials, where the pigments are rated at 95 years provided the print is protected from UV Rays. 
  • Flexibility:  Ordering a print on photopaper allows clients to make their own framing and matting decisions for the ultimate customization experience. 
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark. 
  • Documentation:  I include a certificate of authenticity with each print.  Once you frame the print, your framer can attach it to the rear of the print.
  • Final Product:  I have dedicated shipping tubes to hold the print until your framer is ready to mount and frame the print.
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated shipping tubes which take an additional 3 to 5 days for shipping.
