How this shot came about.

Our trip in 2016 to Bali was filled with many wonders not the least of which was a middle-of-the-night climb to the top of Mount Batur to greet the dawn as the sun rose over the caldera wall.

We stayed at the amazing Uma by COMO resort in Ubud which has a huge Koi pool right beside their al fresco breakfast area.

For once, I was able to take this shot from the comfort of a seat.

Shot Location

The Shot

I would like to claim a carefully considered plan in the taking of this shot but the reality is lot more spontaneous!

The fish gathered in the pool near our breakfast table in Ubud. I grabbed my camera and took the shot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is my image shipped to me?

After printing each image is trimmed to include mounting margins for your framer.

It is then rolled in protective sheets and placed in an appropriately sized mailing carton.

We use 150mmx150mm (6"x6") mailing cartons to avoid excessive bending of the high quality paper we use for printing.

Depending on your selection the carton is sent via mail or courier to your nominated address

What paper is my image printed on?

We use very high quality papers from Hahnemuhle.


We usually print on Ultra Smooth Cotton Rag at 308 gsm.

How is my image authenticated?

Each print is personally named, numbered and signed by me.


Additionally I also emboss the margin of the print with our logo.


Finally each print comes with a certificate of authentication which includes an encrypted QR code containing a unique print identifier and the known provenance of the print.

Are the images on the website copyrighted?

All images on the Amuigh Faoin Speir website are copyright the author. A great deal of time and effort goes into the acquisition and production of each image and unauthorized use of any of the images is prohibited.


All images have been invisibly watermarked and their unauthorized use anywhere on the web is continuously monitored.


Should an unauthorized use of any image be discovered the user of that image is liable for post-use licensing fees as laid out in the Terms of Service, Section 13 - Unauthorized Usage of Images

What's the best way to frame my image?

What's the best way to light my image?

Why does the price of each image vary over time?

Each of the images comes in three sizes, Feature, Mural and Nook.

For each image each size has a restricted and predetermined run size.

We guarantee that this run size will never be exceeded, ever.

This means that there is a natural scarcity for each image/size combination and as prints are sold that scarcity increases with a corresponding increase in the price for the next print.

This approach provides an opportunity for early purchasers to acquire an appreciating asset the market value for which increases with each subsequent purchase of that image/size combination
