Can't be much in it Claus, a mm or so

Cutting off a few mm solved the problem

Excellent !  Looking really good Claus - put another building in the gap and it could be a real city scene.

Thank you for your kind words. The gap between the Daylesford Building and Foys is Bridge Road. In fact, the scene in the previous post can only be captured if seen from behind the backboard to the right of this photo.

Bridge Road Mock-up


Not much vacant land is left in Wombat Creek. Bridge Road is the exception. Recently my wife and I went to Bridge Road, Melbourne, to photograph a few shop fronts. The 'mock-up' buildings are not next to each other in real life. Also, they do not have a green tint (the printer needs a new cartridge). Next step is construction!

And why else would one go to Melbourne - didn't you let her buy some shoes or a new dress Claus ?

No time for shoes or dresses. We were on our way to meet Alan Davies!
