The story behind the photo
Last light had gone off the field and the sky had already turned deep blue overhead, but there was still a warm band low on the horizon. A thin crescent moon sat in the blue, high and to the left, and one tree stood alone against all of it.
I framed with the field as a dark mass along the bottom, the tree just right of centre, and the moon placed so it is not directly above the crown. Keeping those two apart matters: overlapped, they read as one shape; separated, the picture has two focal points and a distance between them.
The exposure is judged on the horizon glow, which leaves the ground almost black and the tree entirely silhouetted. I could have lifted the field to show the furrows. I preferred to lose them, because at that moment they genuinely were lost.
This is the short window after the sun has gone and before real night, when the sky changes measurably every minute and you have perhaps a quarter of an hour of usable frames. I like working then. There is no time to hesitate, and the decisions get simpler.

Materials
Hahnemühle fine art papers (Photo Rag, Museum Etching, Fine Art Baryta…), chosen for each photograph.
Print mounted on 3 mm aluminium Dibond: rigid, light, no glazing.
Print set between 3 mm Dibond and an acrylic sheet: richer colour and depth, resistant to UV and humidity.
Framing, optional
For paper prints: white mount and Plexiglas glazing, museum glass optional. The mount puts space between the photo and the frame: a classic, understated look that draws the eye to the image.
For aluminium and acrylic, black or white. A narrow gap separates the photo from the moulding: it seems to hang suspended inside its frame, for a contemporary look.
For aluminium and acrylic: an aluminium structure fixed to the back, invisible once hung. The photo seems to rest on the wall, slightly set off from it.
