A Night on Earth 1

I can’t remember how long the exposure was for this, Craig…I wasnt sure of what I was doing.

Im not sure on the podcast thingee…I “think” I want to hear it….hehe:)

Still breaking in Gregory….

Lol, Lost, yes….still finding my way with him :D

Ahhhhhhh …. so you are like me and just experimenting with these night shots at the moment too eh :) VBS Did you see my Back to The Future? It was my first attempt ;) I am so proud LOL

I didn’t get to hear ya on JJJ. Damn it … so they BETTER find the bloody podcast!!! :P

cool

oh, the old smokestack! Very nice looking at night too.

Melody I am just loving your work – this is really really brilliant. Inspiring stuff. What a great a canvas the Western Subs of Melbourne are to work with.

yeah this is good!

Nice. I think I know exactly where that is, shot a car there about a year ago.

Don’t worry about customs, security, police, as they have no power to stop you shooting anything as long as you are on public land. The only thing you should be worried about is being robbed. It’s a good idea to go out in pairs if at all possible.

Heheh….John, Im sure you’re right…Last time we photo’d further down the street on the pier we had our details taken by security….but I think night time is probably a little dangerous in this vicinity….but oh so tempting!

There’s a little park at the end of that road, along the river (assuming you shot this where I think you shot it). I’ve seen discarded syringes there, a bad sign…

I guess you could call it a park….there is definately an area there, no grass, lots of people go there to fish…It’s eternally fascinating to me with all the HUGE ships that glide past….I have a timetable of the expected ships. Im not sure why people would want to fish in this place….the water has to be immensely polluted.!

This is cool, love the smoke out of the chimney stack ! the night exposures are so much fun hey ! you just never know what your gonna get !

Thanks Tamaramararamara…:D I didn’t really nail the smoke how I wanted….but its a beginning:D

Yeah, definitely just a car park. You have a ship timetable? Where does one get such a timetable?

Thanks

I took some photos there too, but a truck driver told us to go away!

That smoke trail is unreal, I’ve been away from your portfolio too long, that’s a hell of an exposure judging by the breaklight trail, cracking capture.

Great piece – so much mood and energy!

I like the tail-light streak and the smoke…
Good pic.

This is great! Well done a very atmospheric shot indeed. Lovely.

WOW Melody!

love the stacks.

Love that smoke…..the whole thing is beautiful.

Yeah “Night On Earth” is one of my faves too. I remember when I saw it, it became my favourite film. I really like films that are like a series or vignettes. Not that there’s many around…

I remember I heard that Jim Jarmusch made the actress who played the blind girl do that thing with her eyes rolled upward because her eyes are so beautiful and she’s known for her eyes, or something like that.

So many great moments in that movie.

Yes, Beatrice Dalle, not sure of the spelling… :D
