Sky Tower From Auckland Harbour Bridge | Premium Framed Canvas Print | Ready To Hang Wall Art
From only $268.14 WITH FREE SHIPPING
This original photograph by Michael Lees is printed in Queensland Australia by a master printer using the world’s best 450gsm archival canvas. We do not print onto paper, unlike most photographers, because paper has a number of problems. It is fragile, easily marked, susceptible to humidity, and does not age well. Our canvas solves all these problems and we estimate it will still look as good as the day you bought it a lifetime from now.
The museum-grade canvas is infused with archival quality pigment inks and sprayed with a protective coating to reduce damage from UV light or touching the print. It is left to dry for 3 days before it is stretched by hand over a hand-cut, double-profile hardwood (not pine) support frame. We will then place a ‘floating’ frame around the canvas to present the work beautifully. There is no need for glass protection, meaning you get a clear and unobstructed view of the work with no reflections or glare. You get to see the work how Michael intended it to be viewed.Â

It is always difficult to photograph iconic landmarks like the Sky Tower or Auckland Harbour Bridge when they have already been photographed so many times before. I never want to knowingly repeat what others have done. In this image, I went to the very end of the Auckland Harbour bridge where it just starts its journey over the water. Most photographers would probably choose not to go so close to the bridge as you don’t get an overall impression of the bridge itself, but I thought that this would give a unique perspective of Auckland city and the Sky Tower.
It was the middle of the day when I took the image. I usually prefer to shoot at dawn or dusk but on this occasion, I did not have a choice. Strong harsh shadows are not usually a photographer’s friend, but I used them to highlight the rigid structure of the bridge and contrasted it by using a “big stopper” filter to stop almost all the light from reaching the camera’s sensor. This ensured that the exposure took 20 seconds and gave the ocean a soft velvet appearance. I framed the tower between the arches of the bridge.
