LaTrobe St, Melbourne

This one was all about timing. The sun had to be shining, it had to be shining at just the right time, the tram had to be in the right spot while the sun was in the right spot and, last but far from least, the intersection had to be free of traffic, which wasn’t going to be easy considering I had to shoot it during peak hour. Because of all that it took two weeks and numerous attempts before it all came together. Then when I had the shot it didn’t look as good as I’d imagined until I took the colour out of the background, which not only highlighted the tram even more, it seemed to suit the period of the old tram. Similar tram image here.

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.
