FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: MOON OVER ANINI, KAUAI

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Moon over Anini, Kauai
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
20" H x 24" W
Limited Edition of 30
Price: $1,400 USD



I was amazed at how the infrared film captured the rocks at Anini Beach.  They remind me of giant hot coals.  Anini Beach on Kauai's north shore is a 3-mile-long beach sheltered by one of the longest and widest reefs in Hawaii measuring 2 miles in length and 1,600 feet at its widest point.  It is such a beautiful area.  This piece is one of my earlier works, created in 2005.



Professional framing is available for an additional charge.

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera and Kodak Professional High-Speed HIE Black-and-White Infrared Negative Film.  Sadly, the film is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the tonal balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed on fully archival silver gelatin fiber base paper.  This piece is part of an award-winning series called "A New Discovery".
