Yorkshire Through The Seasons On Tour!

Mark Sunderland — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 15:32:00 +0000

If you missed my recent Yorkshire Through The Seasons exhibition at Harrogate Library, you have another chance to see some of the images in Knaresborough from this month

The images will be on show at McQueen's Cafe, 51 High Street, Knaresborough

From 25th January 2007 until late March 2007 (date to be confirmed)

January's Image and Other Things

Mark Sunderland — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 15:53:00 +0000

This month's image is the rather alarming Storm Over Littondale:

This image was captured way up Littondale late on a winter afternoon, with clouds rushing by and casting ever-changing shadows on the daleside.

This was one of the images in my Yorkshire Through The Seasons exhibition at Harrogate Library last month. Thanks to everyone that visited, and for the nice comments in the visitors book, some of which are now available to view on the website at:

www.marksunderland.com/Exhibitions/YorkshireThroughTheSeasons.html

My apologies if you were hoping to read a message announcing a January Sale!

Unfortunately last year's alignment of prices between web and art show sales, with the introduction of separate delivery charges, was the last reduction in prices that I am able to offer (ever). This is, of course, great news if you bought a print in 2006, as prices are only going upwards from now on! However, my fine art print prices will remain at the current levels for the time being - but I am expecting them to rise later in 2007.

Due to production costs, my A5 greetings card price will rise to £2.80 this month.

Yorkshire Through The Seasons Exhibition Now Showing!

Mark Sunderland — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 15:34:00 +0000

Mark Sunderland's Yorkshire Through The Seasons exhibition is now showing at The Stairwell Gallery, Harrogate Library!

Yorkshire Through The Seasons comprises a selection of new images of the Yorkshire Dales, Moors and Coast taken by Mark Sunderland over the past year. Mark, originally from Tadcaster, left Yorkshire to go to university but moved back in 2005, after an absence of 24 years, settling in Knaresborough. He then set about photographing the landscape of his native county with fresh eyes, using the techniques acquired and a style developed over the last decade on journeys to more distant landscapes in the western USA, Patagonia and Iceland. This exhibition is the result of the first year of this project.

The exhibition comprises 35 framed 50x40cm prints produced personally by Mark using the latest ultrachrome K3 pigment inks for archival permanence on a beautiful fine art 100% cotton paper from the James Cropper paper mill in Cumbria.

The Stairwell Gallery, Harrogate Library
Victoria Avenue
Harrogate
HG1 1EG

The exhibition continues until 23rd December 2006.

A Yorkshire Summer

Mark Sunderland — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 11:50:00 +0000

A new image series entitled A Yorkshire Summer has been added to the website, featuring ten new images taken across Yorkshire during the summer of 2006.

Summer Heather - Hole of Horcum, North York Moors

Along with the earlier autumn, winter and spring image series, this completes the set of images on show in the Yorkshire Through The Seasons exhibition at Harrogate Library from Monday, 11 December through to Saturday 23 December.

Yorkshire's Glory Set Out in Pictures...

Mark Sunderland — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 12:01:00 +0000

Plus, the Weekend what's on guide (also included in the Harrogate Advertiser) has a feature on the exhibition along with my Pen-Y-Ghent image.

The exhibition is at Harrogate Library and continues until 23rd December 2006.

Canvas/Fabric Prints from Shake Design

Mark Sunderland — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 12:23:00 +0100

Mark Sunderland Photography has teamed up with local bespoke printing firm Shake Design to offer a range of images on a variety of canvas and fabric surfaces. These pieces are supplied on box frames ready to hang.

A wide range of Mark Sunderland images is available, including Sandstone Swirls below, which looks great on the Poly Satin surface.

Unlike traditional canvas prints which can easily be damaged, Shake Design's fabrics are highly durable and won't crack, rip or sag.

Fine Art Digital Printing

Mark Sunderland — Wed, 31 May 2006 16:20:00 +0100

I have been using digital capture for some time now for my stock images, but since moving up to a camera with a full-frame sensor (the Canon EOS 5D) last autumn I have also been using this for my landscape work. My new autumn and winter in the dales images, including Silver Birch, Brimham Rocks below have been produced in this way.

As a result, I have for some time been looking for a digital printing process in order to produce fine art prints from my new images, as I can't use the Ilfochrome (Cibachrome) darkroom process that I used for my film based images.

So, I have been working with an Epson Ultrachrome K3 printer for a while now, trying out a variety of fine art papers. My favourite by far has been the Impart Photo Smooth High White Cotton 315gsm fine art paper which I sourced direct from the James Cropper paper mill (www.papermilldirect.com) not that far away in Kendal, Cumbria. This is a 100% cotton paper which gives excellent archival properties with the Ultrachrome K3 inkset, estimated at 75+ years.

I have been very pleased with the results and, although I did like the ultra high gloss surface of Ilfochrome, I am delighted with the colour reproduction in my new prints. The paper also has a great feel to it, and is less prone to kinks and buckles than the almost metallic Ilfochrome surface, so I find I can mount it in just an acid free window mount with a backing card without the need for sticking the print to 5mm foamboard, which is much better from an archival point of view.

My recent panel of images in the Harrogate Photographic Society's Poetry in Pictures exhibition in Leeds used this process, and the results were well received, I am pleased to say.

I am therefore, from today, offering these lovely new digital prints as standard from all of the images on my website in A4, A3 and A3+ sizes. This has the added benefit that I can can print the images myself and sign the work onto the image border inside the window mount, giving me complete artistic control over the whole process which I have not had since I printed black and white in the darkroom.

For further details visit http://www.marksunderland.com/prints.html or browse through the image portfolio at http://www.marksunderland.com/portfolio.html

Until I can also offer an A2 sized print, I will continue to produce Ilfochrome prints up to 24x20 from my 5x4 film originals (smaller from smaller formats). Please get in touch with me directly to arrange this service from now on.
