It would have been really hard without Albion and John. Big thanks forever guys. The images are A2 size with an additional 50 mm white border, mounted on 3 mm foam core and locked into un-glazed frames. This was the safest way to freight them and there were no damages, and the easiest way to hang them using the wire system. I would have liked to have gone bigger, but not practical. The smaller size was actually appreciated by everyone for various reasons. Most buyers have ordered prints-only but a couple ordered the framed versions. I'll probably keep all of these for a future show in Queensland. The two Fujifilm X10 images printed up like paintings, very beautiful. The 60D and 6D prints were totally at ease at this size, and very sharp. The two old Canon G10 images were also very sharp, and were the first to sell, which surprised me. Anyway, its a bit quiet now, but I've got plenty of reading material for the final 6 days. Its been a great learning experience - thanks everyone for your words of support.
