Shadows,Industrial Storage Tank
This image caused me to get a visit from the police at 11.00am at night.
I had photographed it toward sunset and headed home, seems the day before a tourist attack had occured at an oil refinery in England and everyone here in Oz was on alert.
Security had taken down my car number and the hence visit.
From there the story hit the papers with this picture,and then the TV, as other photographers also got home visits from police.
In the end after much press,comments froml local politians ,counter terrosim authorities,cheif of polic etc, the acting Premier of Victoria announced on TV that it was not against the law to take pictures of industrail installations from a public place.

Incredible composition – the cropping you have used is so powerful.

A good bright shot, though for better shadows ,try later in the day when the shadows are longer
and closer cropped, perhaps?.

Love the shadow play so much Joe!!! Would be interesting to get, say, hourly shots for a day!! Although, would that mean more visits from the police? :P Interesting story behind the photo mate :) I hope the police liked the shot as much as we :)
