Shot Tower at Night, Melbourne

It’s an incredible structure. I was lying upside-down over a bench in taking this :)

love the shadw effects on the brickwork

this is gr8!

You really do have some incredable buildings in Melbourne
I like all the girders and such, kind of reminds me of some sculptures I make… Great Shot!!

Awesome shot Mark nice angle!

SnowDog

Well done, Mark! You have captured it beautifully!

what a perspective….!

I always loved this place. Now, I’m inspired. I’m to Melb Central ;)

Wow, this is just fantastic!!

I almost wrote what Helen said but, I totally agree that is one heck of a great shot!

It reminds me of something from stargate! (ever heard of that?)

colours are beautiful! where is this???

Yes, watched the entire SG1 series :)
This is an old shot tower in Melbourne central, which has been ‘preserved’ by building around it (enclosing it) in a shopping/office complex.

Thanks for the comments, guys :)

This is a fabulous shot, Mark!

awesome work..nothing else I can say but this….....

so psycho..(alfred hitcock) brilliant, makes me spin along….

its so surreal, i thought u photoshopped the top then i read on, unreal!

Amazing!!

this is so amazing. wow I just love it to bits.

amazing!!!!!1

my gosh.. theres so much going on here i love it! The print on the building really makes this, great color!

You just reintroduced this.?..well worth it…it’s amazing Mark !

Ok – I know this is old work reappearing – but I damn well love it!!!! Don’t hide it again or I’m coming down there to talk some sense into you.

I keep staring – it’s making me dizzy now…

Cool perspective and treatment. Not for those that suffer from vertigo.

Wow – now this is a bit special – I had one serious case of vertico looking at this. To be able to stand under this beast, point your camera up and get such an immaculate shot is awesome – I would have fallen over just looking up – Brilliant Mark.

Ahhhh – see, now thats what makes the difference between a pro and a hobbyist – I wouldnt have thought of lying down :) Will from now on though – Thanks for the tip

Although I have crawled on my tummy to get a shot – just wouldnt have thought of what you did to get this, and I still would have had vertico I think.

Wow!! Freaky cool shot Mark! Great perspective but this also a great docuphoto! This should be in a travel magazine!

G’day Mark,

Most impressive my good man!
Your gymnastics has produced a great perspective and your framing/cropping has produced a very well composed image.
The subject is unusual and made moreso by your angle of shot and that it was made at night.
Wonderful lines take the eye on an incredible journey right through the scene as even though it is so “busy”, I did not feel lost in it all and took it all in.
The image has very good light, great depth and sharpness and all the tones and contrasts are very pleasing.
Great work mate!

mark i’m sure i’ve seen this one before no?
anyway – LOVE it!!!

Very Nice shot.

have seen many shots of this, but none “shot ” like this – its a gem!

Great shot and beautiful treatment!

Not your usual ‘shot’ Wonderfully captured :))

Isn’t this an amazing piece of architecture .. you’ve totally transformed it into a new light .. the lines and colours are incredible ..

You have some spectacular work in your portfolio Mark! From what I hear from Bernard you know your stuff!

Hi Mark, I designed and programmed the lighting for the shot tower back in 2005. every 6 months we change the images and colours being projected onto the shot tower.
Thank you for capturing my art work in the way you have!
Well done on such a great shot!
