Lines and Light.
During last weeks trip to Melbourne I went on an evening stroll and found this line of columns and light at the front of the General Post office (GPO) in the heart of the city.
The lines and shapes made for an interesting almost abstract look.
The tunnel effect here puzzled me at first as there seemed to be a line working bottom right to top left as well. It was as if the bottom left of the shot separated itself from the rest of the image…...maybe it was just because I was tired by then!!!!!
Now that I look at it again is it a line that works from bottom Left to the right????
Lines – lines – lines….....

Thanks for that. I loved it….a great place to wander at night. So much happening and so many photographic opportunities. I’ll be back and next time looking to arrange a few of you Victorian shooters to join me and show me the sights that I didn’t get to see…...

CiaoBella
to my eyes there is a tiny left tilt on the perspective in the foreground, which by the time your eyes have travelled to the arch that is the rear focus has completely disappeared – curious but fab effect. Love the lighting & colours
starikarp

Really interesting shot, because it depicts a progression through light. And here’s a coincidence – if and when you have time, have a look at a shot of mine called ``Post Haste’’ ......
John Vandeven
Wow…I like the way you have shot this…..The lighting and DOF are fantastic.
