Our favourite photograph this month comes from our team member Don Tiffney and is entitled Safe Haven. Despite a very early morning start in the summer and a tricky combination of light sources Don has expertly worked his magic to make such a great image. A three minute exposure meant a steady tripod was required to keep the photograph nice and sharp!

He tells us “A flat calm North Sea reflects the beam from the Flamborough Head lighthouse & the sodium lights cast a comforting glow over the weathered stonework on the harbour wall. This was photographed at 2am but it’s not always as quiet as this!”.

Camera Model: Fuji S5 Pro
Lens: Sigma 18-50EX
Focal Length: 18mm
Shutter Speed: 3 Mins. 9secs.
Aperture: f14
ISO: 100

This stunning and original image can be purchased in a range of sizes and finishes such as our quality canvas wall art, the sleek acrylic prints or as an art poster ready to frame. The image can be found in our Fine Art Prints section. It works wonders as a three part triptych canvas but there are many choices to suit your room and decor.

Great work Don

Over at Digital ProTalk David Ziser posted a very complimentary article about our Art Prints on his highly respected photo blog. The title of the article reads:

“Please place one hand, palm up, under jaw before viewing”

David shows a picture of Graham Cormie’s ‘Hopeman Dawn’ photograph and says he particularly likes the Seascape Art Collection. “It showcases some outstanding images and is worth the visit just for the viewing of so many inspiring images…tons of inspiration available.”

Thanks to David for rating our collection so highly. His blog is well worth a daily read. David Ziser is an internationally renowned portrait and wedding photographer. Studio Photograph magazine has extolled…”Award winning photographer, David Ziser, is showing the world how to take wedding pictures.” His ‘Digital WakeUp Call’ tour was acclaimed as one of the “best ever” seminars on digital photography.

Our Photo of the Month is a new feature where we aim to showcase photographs of outstanding quality and beauty. For October we are presenting an incredible image by Tim Wallace called ‘Northern Tide‘. This is such a dramatic photograph with wonderfully vivid colours. Tim says “Northern Tide is part of a set of images that I’m working on to produce contemporary photography using an old weathered chair, basically in places that you would not expect to find a chair.”

“This shot was taken just next to the pier at Saltburn on the North East coast at the very early hours of 4:50am as the sun was rising. The chair was placed in approx 3 inches of water as the tide started to wash in as I wanted a soft flow of water coming through the chair towards the viewer. It’s one of my favourite shots in the series and I think its quite peaceful overall with a gentle feeling of space.”

You can purchase this photographic art piece on canvas, acrylic or as a poster from the Fotoviva Art Prints online store at www.fotoviva.co.uk. We also have more of Tim’s contemporary, automotive and landscape prints available and you can check out his new photoblog here.
