Late Night Art.

Taking a very careful late night stroll into some of Melbournes back lanes whilst visiting this week, I came across this amazing place off Flinders Street where everything was covered in paint, including the bins!!!! Had to watch out for the rats that kept crossing the lane into the bins….....

I guess this always depends on your point of view, is it art – is it graffitti?

Shot with the Canon 400D – 17-85 lens on a tripod. Will try and work on some HDRs also taken that night and post them soon.

Caroline Gorka

Hosier Lane at it’s grungy, bright best :))

Wish I’d known you were about !
Steve Chapple replied

Thanks Caroline. I spent three days over there with my wife who was at the gift fair. With other friends we went o Buddy Holly and spent a few nights down at Southbank. Last night there and I thought I’d head off on my own for a late night shoot. Probably not the safest idea but everyone seemed fine and just left me alone to get on with the photography.

Rodney Wratten

G’day Steve,
Great shot, Brilliant colour and how did the artists get up so high and do so much painting, the light comming in from the back very nice photo,Not to say anything about the rats running around.
Cheers Rod.
Steve Chapple replied

Thanks very much for your constant support. They either sneak in with ladders or are damn tall people…....maybe there are extension poles for spray cans…..Lol.

It’s art, Steve. What else would you do with a lane like this? It should count itself lucky. A great shot

Steve Chapple replied

Damn and I thought I was the first. Lol. Just saw some graffiti up along side the Forum as I walked down Flinders Street and it led me here!

wow, where are you Steve. Great shot, love the colour…
Steve Chapple replied

Trina – was in Hosier lane Melbourne – just off Flinders Street.
Al Bourassa

Lovely shot and good work by these artists but it is still grafitti, painted on someone else’s property. I respect their art but not their poor choice of unauthorized canvas.
Rosalie Scanlon

Very colorful however it is described, Nice find and capture. Hope you weren’t alone in that area.
Steve Chapple replied

Unfortunately yes. Tend to do these silly things sometimes, but loved what I found!!!
David Hill

This is really nice Steve. Lots of colour, visually a very busy scene, but I particularly like the way the lines draw you to the final wall which is almost plain.
Vicki Ferrari

It is a very artistic view of graffiti, that depends on your personal view of graffiti! This is a stunning shot, it just works!!! I like the way you said you took a careful walk, Steve! LOL!
Steve Chapple replied

Thanks Vicki. The most worked part of my body that night was my ears, listening to make sure I was alone!!!! Lol.
Elaine Harriott

Very colourful, what a great find!
Emjay01

Interesting shot Steve, it has a cartoon type of quality, like the movie scanner darkly. Nice work mate :-)
SD Smart

Amazing image, great light.
Which one is your tag???
Steve Chapple replied

Too nervous to pick up a can, just got my images and moved on. Would love to go back one late night with a few supporters and spend more time there. Have a look at Alistair Wilson’s link he put in the comments on one of the others in my series!

Great work Steve. Organised chaos! I’ve seen this laneway before. Will have to pop back down there next time I’m in Melbourne and have another look.
Steve Chapple replied

Thanks for the comment. Certainly worth the visit. Have a look at Alistair Wilson’s link on one of the others from my series (in the comments) and you’ll see what he achieved. Simply amazing!
Lois Romer

Steve Chapple replied

Thanks Lois, what an amazing vibrant and fun place to visit. Melbourne was alive at night!!!
