Mount Feathertop, Alpine National Park, Victoria, Australia
From an early age I've been drawn to the summit of Feathertop, with some of my earliest bushwalks as a child walking up Mt Feathertop. On this occasion I was camped out on Mt Feathertop for five days in early winter and was keen to capture a photograph of the summit from up close. The weather however had other ideas with persistent snow and low cloud, precluding even seeing the summit for the first few days. As the sun set on my final day I was set up in position sure that the weather was finally improving. Briefly the cloud lifted in front of the summit with cloud remaining on the other side creating a dramatic backdrop. It didn't take too long again for the cloud to return. As I returned to my tent for the night I felt happy to have captured what was a brief moment in the ever changing conditions over the summit of Mt Feathertop.
Mount Feathertop is the second-highest mountain in the Australian state of Victoria, rising to 1,922 metres (6,306 ft). It is usually covered in snow from June to September. Unlike most other Victorian mountains, Mount Feathertop has steep summit slopes instead of a rounded summit dome. It's this aspect that makes it great to photograph in winter, as it's the only real Australian alpine 'peak' that gets covered in snow. Snow remaining in the summit gullies in spring gives the appearance of feathers - hence the name "Feathertop".

FRAMED PRINT
This clean, simple and modern look will suit any home. Your Hahnemühle fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary box frame (approx 27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood. It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break), and protects against 99% of UV. Framed prints come ready to hang on your wall. The listed size is for the print itself - the border and frame add approx 7.5cm to each side of the print (ie 15cm additional length in total).
ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
This frameless, glass like feel is one of the most impressive and striking ways to display your print. Printed on a professional metallic paper, creates a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is then face-mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection. The crisp, clean image is then backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher. This comes ready to hang, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print, so your print can be securely hung on your wall.
ACRYLIC - DESK BLOCK
Acrylic desk blocks blocks give the print a three dimensional look and make excellent gifts. These are printed on professional grade metallic photographic paper, using archival inks. It is then mounted on the back of a plexiglass block. It is finished with diamond polishing, buffing and a final hand polish. Since they are free-standing, no hanging system is required.
