Hey Archie, Are You Flanked By Betty And Veronica?by David McMahon
I was actually driving past this building in South Melbourne in 2007 when the architecture and colour scheme caught my eye.
Those graceful archways and the slender double columns just had to be photographed, so I pulled over, found a parking spot and reached for my camera.
I chose my angle very carefully, to get the best view of the exterior arches and the strong horizontal roof line. By choosing this vantage point, looking directly upwards, I was also able to include the high interior arched doorways in almost perfect symmetry.
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/60 sec, ISO 200, focal length 38mm.
Thank you very much, Kamaljeet. I wish I had taken note of what the building was, whether it was an office or something else. I guess I’ll have to go back ….

Betty and Veronica haunt me still because of my name. But it’s a great photo! — Betty
Yes, I can see why, Betty! I’d never thought of that before! Glad you like the image.
