Laneway Moods.
Another image from this weeks late night stroll in back alleys off of Hosier Lane, in Melbourne’s CBD.
The varying lighting and shadows helped to create mood which varied dependent upon the angle and direction of the shots.
Quite eerie and daunting shooting this series alone, next time I must get someone to come along!!!!!
This is a three shot HDR converted in Photomatix, shot with a Canon 400D – 17-85 lens.

This works much better Steve than the other one. It has a great perspective and of course the colours and reflections work really well.
Steve Chapple replied
Thanks Peter, yes I agree, it’s my fave of those I have posted. So many more that I took that night but just uploaded the three.

Great lighting and mood here. The colours of the graffitti add such menace to the scene. What were you thinking being out in an area like this alone late at night!!!! Thankfully you were OK and able to provide us with these stunning results!
blueeyesjus
Oh I know this lane well. This is really stunning Steve, the colours and reflections are so vivid, I must try some HDR soon. You should add this to our TUNNEL VISION group, it would make a great addition….
Steve Chapple replied
Thanks Jus, will do, appreciate the comment.

Wow, this is so rich. I haven’t been near Hosier Lane in so many years and the last time I was there it was just so dark and dingy, I wouldn’t have walked down it in broad daylight. Your treatment has really given it an almost palpable life.
Shanina Conway
Fantastic capture Steve, so much energy, the light bounce is brilliant;)

Crazy killer graffitti. Its urban art decay, beauty in a dark abstract form. I enjoyed this one very much. Thanks for sharing.
AngieBel
You’ve captured a completely different mood here to the one I (also) loved that was so vibrant. You have a wonderful ability to present different feels from the same location. Stunning.
