Customs House

Thanks Dinghy, a friend in the USA gave me an invaluable tip on the importance of good lighting. This is straight from the camera, like most shots I use nowadays. It is a great building, and very important in my towns history.

Thanks for the Fave ! Things are rolling along now…

Thank you ! Our city would not be the same without this building that helped its industry so much. Thanks for the Fave !

Thanks Violetta ! It’s a very Stylish bit of Architecture. Thanks very much for the fave ! < :)

Thanks very much for your encouraging comment ! I appreciate the Fave !

It is a very nice-looking building. Thanks a lot Lori ! I included that tree in the comp to add some more colour.

Many thanks Emolena for your great comment and the Fave !

Thank you Cheryl for your great comment ! This was across the road from the Tall Ship and it’s a very stylish building.

Thanks very much Judy ! Are you Bev’s sister ?

Thanks very much ! I shot it from across the road, down the street, like this, you name it. The sunlight was perfect so I took advantage everywhere I went.

Thank you Cherilyn ! It’s a great bit of Architecture after all the years its been around.

Laughing here ! ” King Coal ” – very creative !
I have to agree that many majestic buildings are just falling to pieces. Tear it down and rebuild is the new mantra and has been for decades. I couldn’t believe what the Post Office looked like after I hadn’t seen it for years – a shambles ! Customs House looks incredibly well looked after however.
Thanks if you were the one who chose to feature this ! I thanked Keith too.

Thanks Dinghy ! I only joined that group in the last 48 hours or less, so it was a nice surprise. :)
[ With a comment like that, you’ll get on the Pay Roll. The bad news is that recession has severely affected the company ! ]

Thanks for looking Pam ! I shot it a few ways, but this angle to the sun brought out the colour and detail the most. < :)

Thanks Michael ! This is a very popular place to shoot here, but most capture the whole building straight on. It was perfect, sunny weather for photography that afternoon. Thanks for the fave !

Thanks Cora ! This one has been on RB for maybe 2 months. I was very happy with the way it turned out. I got the very best out of my camera in this and a few other shots that day.

Thanks Sonia ! I knew everyone would have the shot over the road of the whole place so got some like that and a few like this perspective.

Thanks very much Graham ! It’s a very stylish building, that’s for sure !

Wow, my first win in a challenge ! :)) Thanks to you and Phil for running the Group and thinking up the idea ! I had a great session that day and there was so much to photograph around that area.

Hi Shipmate ! Thanks for dropping in ! :)) A little buuuarrppp taaant taearrrnttt from drifts out over the skies of Newcastle !
