This double contrast caught my eye at Melbourne’s Southbank – not only were the shapes purely geometrical, the colours were a perfect foil for each other.

The orange cafe umbrella was in tune with the tip of a temporary display tent, which in turn was a perfect foil for the dark facade of Hamer Hall in the background.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F11, 1/750 sec, ISO 200, focal length 170mm.

    Pretty darn cool!

  • Thank you, Paulette – it would not have worked with my standard lens (18-125) … I had to use the long lens to achieve this tight frame!

    Very nice! It’s amazing what you see when you have camera in hand.

  • That philosophy drives us all, Leslie. It’s so true ….

    A very cool shot, and the thumbnail looks quite abstract.

  • So glad you like it, Betty. The orange cafe umbrellas are always there, but the white “tent” was just a temporary thing and it was gone a day later!

    Very nice, I love the 3-colour geometry in this – and in thumbnail it looks really intriguing :-)

  • Wonderful to know you found the thumbnail intriguing – and that the depth of field suggested a 3D effect to you. Many thanks!
