Prints for pleasure
“Stunning is often the word used to describe our latest aluminium ChromaLuxe panel prints. Deep, vibrant and punchy colours simply pop out, making any image a real statement piece” Derek Poulston, sales & marketing One Vision Imaging
Weekend city breaks give you the chance to sample great locations, and new sights mean fresh opportunities for great images to show off at home, as PN ’s editor Will Cheung shows here. “I used an ultra wide-angle lens for this early evening shot of the ceiling of Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s oldest active
shopping centre and a major city landmark, which dates back to 1865. Its fabulous ceiling cries out to be photographed and I’m sure every visitor to Milan is happy to oblige, and I couldn’t resist either. “I used One Vision’s aluminium ChromaLuxe print service, because I wanted every nook and
cranny of the fabulous ceiling recorded crisply. The result is stunning, with brilliant detail rendition and rich colour saturation, too. A great memory of a fabulous weekend.”
