Melbourne Exhibition Building Ceiling Detail
This was taken around the middle of the day from the center of the World Heritage listed Melbourne Exhibition Building. I used a 19mm equivalent lens in order to get the whole center piece in, and made a real effort to to stand as directly under the center, and pointing as straight up as possible.
To give you some idea of height of the roof , the tiny coloured spots in the center are actually helium balloons that have ascended to the highest point in the building (click for the zoom view to see them better).

It sure is an incredible building… I had a drinks session on the balconies followed by a meal for around 1500 people in this building some years ago… what a place… what a meal!!!
You have captured this very well indeed… I love the symmetry you have created here.

well done- you caught it in really good light- last time I tried to get this ceiling in a shot I did my neck (forgot a tripod) and got a lousy shot- I’m jealous….

Cheers for capturing a beautiful element of this familiar Melbourne building JB. My memories of this building are: trudging around the Home Show back in the 60’s and resting in luxurious chairs that only rich people could afford, the Aboriginal artist Bill Onus tossing a boomerang around the columns inside and sitting uni exams on rickety tables.
