The Fastest Colour

While wandering around a multi storey car park in
Docklands, Melbourne, looking for shots, I looked
over the edge to see this site. I only had until the lights
turned green to capture this amazing colour quirk.
Nothing added and no colours changed,
seven red cars caught in time….

    Great capture! You’re very observant! Do you always have your camera on you? :)

    I always carry the camera and a tripod in the car and
    try to have it on me most of the time when i am out.
    Not always possible though as we all know.
    In this situation it was just a specific saturday meander
    looking for interesting subject matter.
    I don’t like seeing a great photo opportunity and be in
    the situation of not having a camera handy.
    It is a bad feeling.

    really excellent!!! i live above a major busy street near acropolis in athens, (most of the time) and often go outside on the balcony to watch the happenings in the streets below me…

    if i had a dollar for every time i went out there without a camera, and saw a string of bright yellow taxis all in a row, (my record so far is 13 in a row!!) and not a single car interrupting them, against the gray dirtiness of the street, id be RICH!!!!

    with camera in hand….think i ever see this phenomenon???? ;)

    great find, even better catch!!!

    what an oppurtunity.!!! how long did you have to wait?

  • markhiggins

    markhiggins

    Accused, I didn’t wait, i just looked over the side of the
    car park wall onto the street and they were
    all waiting at the lights. 1 minute later and the
    light changed to green and they were gone.

    Nobody mentioned the white arrows, I think they add to the dynamism of the picture, which could have a been a bit static otherwise. You should have bought a loto ticket on that day!! :)
