Through the Roof

The view looking up at the Coops Shot Tower in Melbourne. I love the contrast between the old and the new.

    Dizzy too. Is this the tower with the flying machine that dips down and up every so often…I saw it in a tower in melbourne a few years ago and couldn’t remember which place it was in. Great photo. Love the curved lines around and around…and also the odd angle re the tower and the top of the circles. One side seems to be closer.

    Congrats – made the front page. I have tried shooting this so many times, but you have managed to get around the non-aligned issue (between the tower and the cone) in a great way.

    Neat shot! I love the composition, especially since you shot the tower at an angle and not straight up the middle. It really adds to the feeling of vertigo—plus it’s nice composition.

    Hey If you weren’t from Melb it would be easy on RB to assume that this was a brilliant piece of computer graphic manipulation. I LOVE IRONY< PARADOX< and VISUAL ILLUSIONS ,Maybe there are some other groups on here that would appreciate this pic. Well done Great Grab

  • Shelley Heath replied

    Well I am not from Melbourne but I did have a holiday down that way a few years ago. Thank you for the comment Mando13
