Background information about Midnight Reflection
Mount Kirkjufell; the Pyramid Peak; the Mountain Shaped Like an Arrowhead; Iceland’s most photogenic feature: however you know it, this feature of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of the world’s most magnificent subjects. Its unique formation, the fact it stands alone on the edge of a spectacular bay, its verdant color and towering scale all add to its appeal, but this very intrigue poses a unique problem for landscape photographers; how can one take an image of it that isn’t overdone?
It was this question that I was eager to solve on this late-night summer shoot. The weather could not have been more perfect. At this time of the year in Iceland, the sun never fully sets, providing a magical golden hour when it reaches its lowest point. The cloud cover was not enough to dim it, but enough to become illuminated in hues of pink and gold.
Furthermore, there was not a whisper of wind, something very uncommon in Iceland. This incredible alignment of factors meant that both the vivid sky and dramatic mountain reflected without a ripple in the surrounding seas. The mirror-like illusion was unlike anything I had seen here before, with my own eyes or in any other image, providing me with the ethereal, unique moment I was looking for. When taking the image, I had to take care to capture the green shades of Kirkjufell in spite of the sun gleaming behind it, both in reality and in the reflection.
As I was balancing this, I noticed that the perfect composition would have the coastline run horizontally through the middle of the frame. Not only did this allow a symmetrical display of light, but also meant that the image became completely identical no matter which way if it were hung correctly or upside down.

State Of The Art Technology For Extreme Resolution
Iurie | Fine Art Acrylic Prints are printed seamlessly in the highest quality and mounted under acrylic glass. These Luxury Fine Art prints have outstanding detail reproduction and long-lasting colours. Using elastic silicone to mount the piece under highly transparent 4mm acrylic glass gives your photograph unbeatable depth and incomparable contrast. Acrylic glass is light, shatterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations.
This process offers a clean, gallery-quality presentation and modern look that will dramatically enhance any private home or business facility. Fine Art prints produced this way show incredible visual depth and an almost 3d quality full of high definition details, beautiful tonal transitions and incredibly vibrant colors. Light that falls across and reflects off of the face of artwork is visually "trapped" within the acrylic glass and when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit.
