X Marks The Spot

Thanks Dave. As you know, the colours change on this X-shaped sculpture,so I was in luck that morning!

Thank you very much, Kamaljeet. I reckon the best view of our skyline is from this little old street!

Thanks very much, Cheryl. Luckily there was no cloud that morning, so the natural light was a perfect foil for the street lights.

Thanks very much, Shulie. I have to try and find out the history of the X sculpture!

Thanks, JustArt. The light was just perfect. The sky was great. There was no traffic. I simply HAD TO stop and take this shot!

Thanks so much to you and your co-hosts, Patricia. That’s wonderful news. RB members don’t actively seek recognition, but it’s great to get!

Thanks very much, Evita. This was one of many great vantage points to see the skyline – and everything was just right for this shot on that pre-dawn morning.

Thank you, Betty. Because it was so early, there was no traffic at all, so I was able to pull over and park and take my time getting this and other shots in the sequence.

Thanks, Puggs. It’s been there for a few years now, but I’m not sure what the significance of the X is, unless it is the southern answer to the huge sculptures on the Tullamarine Freeway!

Thanks very much, John. I was lucky with the colour and the light just happened to be perfect for what I wanted to achieve. That’s just statement of fact, not false humility!

Strangely enough, Nonnie, the colours change on the X – but in the few minutes that I was there, the red was a perfect foil for the pre-dawn sky.

Thanks very much, Dinni. There is only one secret – allow your photography to be totally instinctive. Carry your camera with you. And if you look at something twice – photograph it. It’s the simplicity (not the complexity) that makes some images stand out.

Always a pleasure to be of assistance. Follow your instincts above all else.

Thank you very much to you and your co-hosts, Ruth.

Thanks very much, Evita. Everything was just right with the quality of pre-dawn light – all I had to do was compose the shot and hit the trigger.

Thank you very much on all three counts, David. It was too good a chance to resist – I had to pull over and get my camera out.

Thanks very much, JNHPhoto – everything just fell into place that morning!

Thanks so much for the honour, Christine – and thank you for letting me know, too.
