Notes on Print, VAT, & Shipping + Handling costs
The price ( €499,00 ) is inclusive Print ( €93,30 purchase price ), 9% VAT & Shipping + Handling costs.
Not consider myself a artist just a guy that likes to create stuff out of nothing nothing more more...nothing less. Instead of feeling a artist it would be a c (a creator) or a nCA ( non- Conformist Autodidact ).
Anyway only for the VAT in the Netherlands/EU, Limited edition prints are considered to be art and a 9% VAT needs to be applied. On the other side it good news, paying 9% VAT instead of the regular 21% VAT is even better off course its a true WIN WIN situation for the customer ( yes a kind of Bonus Discount! :) ).
Is there a Watermark and/or copyright visible on a Limited Edition print?
Just to assure you that a ordered Print does not contain any watermarks and/or copyright mentioning on the front. Only have it on the most images on this website to make it more difficult that an image will have a new life somewhere else without any relation ship to this website etc.
Aware that currently AI is capable of “dismanteling” the watermarks and/or copyright. Only here its something like to investigate. Most images on this website also have extra “Protecting images from Generative AI” by using the free tool called: Glaze
A/P Artist Proof info & Selection procedure
Due the fact that still have a HUGE collection of original Sky recordings ( untouched/ not processed yet) since the 2008, in a kind of luxury position by digging ( takes a lot of time) in the archive and select a new one that would be looking great on a Print.
A bit more in detail: select here a nice moody sky that was recorded at a specific time. That recorded one will be only used for the Limited Edition print and there are max 25 (+ 1 A/P - Artist Proof ). When the 25 are sold it cannot be ordered anymore. Then Dutch Skies 360° - Limited Edition Print 001 will be remove from this store and will add Dutch Skies 360° - Limited Edition Print 002 ( currently working on ). Its standard with Limited Editions Prints there is also a A/P ( Artist Proof ) version that is only used for archiving purposes. There is only 1 A/P version max of every version.
With recording sessions mostly make about 10 skies in lets say 1,5 hour. So arrive before ( for example ) sunrise and leave +/- 30 minutes after the sun is up. From a recording session only choose one and the other recordings from that session will never be published in any form to avoid similarity with the selected sky for the Limited Edition Print.
How to identify?
For example the Dutch Skies 360° - Limited Edition Print 001 ( see close-up from the backside image on the right – or up when on a mobile )
001 refers to the version and has the max of 25 Prints to be sold. In this case 3/25
At the bottom see the exact date + time of the recording. Next to that you will find the recording location and camera hight. Please note that the recording location + camera height are all the same in every version of a Dutch Skies 360° - Limited Edition Print ). So when Dutch Skies 360° - Limited Edition Print 002 will be available on this website the date and time of the recording will be different etc.
