Royal Arcade, Melbourne

It was early morning, if you’re wondering how I got this shot without any people in it. I had to shift a few things first - a cleaners mop and bucket, a couple of tables - then I set up the tripod and got the camera ready. Just as I was about to take the shot a woman walked past me heading down towards Little Collins St. It’s a long arcade so I had to wait a while for her to disappear down the other end. Just as she walked out of frame someone else entered walking towards me. Then a minute later, someone else. This went on for so long I was about to ditch it and try again another day. Eventually I had time for a five shot bracket (so I could blend some of the highlights and shadows) and, happy enough, went off for brekkie.

Note: Both paper and canvas prints come rolled in acid free tissue paper inside a heavy-duty mailing tube (signature is required upon delivery).

The standard sized paper prints - A2, A1 and AO - are designed to fit off-the-shelf frame sizes but for custom framing (like the panorama prints which aren't standard sizes), I'd recommend taking them to a professional framer.

The canvas prints are much harder to do yourself so should also be taken to a framer. All the canvas prints have a mirror wrap edge (sometimes called gallery wrap) which means the image appears to continue around the side of the frame but it's actually a copy of the image, as if the image were held against a mirror. This way none of the image is 'lost' around the side, it just looks that way.

If you have any questions about the prints, the images or anything else, I'm always available through the contacts page.
