Title: Vida Breakthrough
Location: West Gate Tunnel Site - Melbourne, Australia. "I was originally positioned at the front of the pack to get the shot of the actual breakthrough which was spectacular. Not being satisfied that it gave a sense of scale - considering Vida’s almost 16m width, I walked back 150m and used my 200 lens to try and compress the image which I think has given an extremely effective result.
This is the largest ever tunnel boring machine breakthrough in the Southern Hemisphere."
