The majestic Christmas Tree inside 333 Collins St Melbourne (Australia). (More info here)
I was loitering in the doorway, gazing longingly at this magnificent Christmas Tree inside, wondering whether someone would come and confiscate my camera if I took a photo of it, when a kindly security guard called out to me to come inside. He was delighted to have people come and photograph the tree, the building, the floor, the ceiling…. I could have just about hugged him!!

Love the golden tones of this. What white balance did you use? Too late for me to get the tree but it should be good without it. As for hugging the security guard, I’ll pass on that one! Cheers :)
Thanks, Charles :) Auto WB. Make sure you take a tripod!! Then you won’t have to ramp it up to 1600 ISO like I did! :) :) :)

It’s a pretty impressive building – I was amazed! I had no idea it was there!

Isn’t that nice, when someone appreciates the photographer’s point of view, LOL!! I was just going to ask about you having to use a tripod for this, but I see you didn’t. So well shot, looks fab!
Thanks, Barb :) :) :)
