Artist`s Tale:

Half Dome - The Yosemite Park`s Heart

Half Dome is a renowned geological formation located in the beautiful Yosemite National Park. Rising 4,737 feet above the valley floor, this stunning granite dome captivates visitors with its sheer size and allure. It has become an iconic symbol of the park and a true marvel of nature. The unique shape of Half Dome, which resembles a massive dome split in half, is said to have been formed through millions of years of glacial and erosional processes. Its distinct vertical face, known as the "Diving Board," offers an adrenaline-pumping challenge for experienced rock climbers. Scaling this vertical surface is not for the faint of heart, but those who conquer it are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. For those seeking to experience the beauty of Half Dome without scaling its challenging face, there is a popular hiking trail that takes visitors to its summit. The Half Dome trail is a strenuous and demanding trek, encompassing approximately 16 miles roundtrip. Hikers must navigate through steep switchbacks, rocky terrain, and even traverse a section called the "Cables," where metal cables are installed to assist climbers in ascending the final portion of the dome. The hike to Half Dome`s summit is not for the casual adventurer, as it requires physical endurance, proper equipment, and a permit obtained through a lottery system due to its popularity. However, those who undertake this memorable journey are rewarded with unparalleled views of Yosemite Valley, including the breathtaking waterfall of Yosemite Falls and the vast wilderness stretching as far as the eye can see. Nature enthusiasts and photographers flock to Half Dome throughout the year, hoping to capture its majestic beauty in their shots. Whether it`s bathed in golden sunlight during the day or illuminated by the soft glow of sunrise or sunset, Half Dome offers a photographer`s paradise at every turn. Half Dome is not just a testament to the power of nature; it is a testament to the human spirit of exploration and determination. It serves as a reminder that with hard work and perseverance, we can conquer even the most daunting of challenges. Half Dome stands tall, attracting visitors from far and wide, leaving them awe-inspired and humbled by its grandeur.

Print Information:

Alexander Vershinin individually produces limited edition prints to the highest possible standards and prints them on world-leading photographic paper. The Fujiflex Crystal Archive is an ultra-high-gloss, museum-grade photographic paper, with archival properties spanning over 70 years. Also, we offer trade-marked printing and mounting technology such as the Lumachrome Gallery Deluxe, which has archival properties spanning over 120 years. Both technologies allow you to achieve extremely precise print quality, with the unique opportunity to display sharpness, contrast and color reproduction capabilities. The concentrated light hits the print, accumulates in the silver crystals, and reflects - creating the impression that a photograph is in 3D format and shining from inside. А photograph is placed on the metal dibond plate and under Lexan or Perspex—super transparent, non-shattering and antiglare "glass". This kind of acrylic defense is completely colorless and offers the best possible presentation of your print. It also blocks 98% of UV light and is highly resistant to weather, temperature and humidity changes, resulting in the best possible archival life. To finish the luxury design, we offer exclusive custom wooden Roma frames that allow you to get the museum quality in your art. To summarize, if you decide to buy any of our art - unframed print rolled in a hard tube, an acrylic face-mounted print float, or finished framed art - you will receive real collectible, exclusive photography art with the best quality you could find for sale.
