Unusual angle on the Anzac Bridge, Sydney.
Last Anzac day we had a fireworks show down at Brighton Jetty (on south austrlia’s western coast) just after the sun went down. Here’s what i came up with. / ps. ANZAC stands for Australia / New Zealand Army Corps, and we celebrate ANZAC day to remember all the fallen heroes in our country’s history.
Shortly before I left Sydney I realised that I’d never taken a picture of this bridge, so I trudged out there in the rain, camera in hand to take one. / It’s a great bridge, and when every tourist is taking pictures of the coat hanger, me included, it’s nice to go and see it’s understated little brother.

Graphite on Cartridge Paper Original 265×295mm With every line I drew and with every area I shaded the dignity of this man, a WW1 Anzac veteran, flowed through me. / How proud he is to have represented our country and stood alongside other heros of our nation that never returned. It makes my eyes well up and my throat choke up. They shall not grow old, / As we who are left grow old. / Age shall not weary them / Nor the years condemn. / At the going down of the sun / And in the morning, / We will remember them. Lest We Forget from ‘For The Fallen’ Laurence Binyon

Lest We Forget Today 11th day of the 11th month is Remembrance Day in Australia. / The poppy is a symbol of all those lost who fought for freedom.
This is his first christmas. His name is ANZAC.

The Anzac Bridge at Pyrmont, in Sydney. Before today I had shot it at various times of day, in colour, black & white, and infra-red, with 4 different cameras over a period of time, including an infra-red converted EOS 10D, and a myriad of lenses, including an EF 15mm Fisheye, a Sigma 10-20mm, an EF 70-300mm DO IS, an EF 24-70mm, and a Sigma 50mm. I can’t get enough of this bridge, and drive over it twice a day! Oh yes, I’ve shot from inside a car too! Today I shot it at lunchtime with a handheld Canon EOS 5D Mark II and a brand spanking new Lensbaby Muse, which is the new version of the original Lensbaby. I chose the Muse over the Composer, which has a focusing ring, as I’m a manual sort of guy and with my first exposure (ouch) to a Lensbaby, I enjoyed the control over the focus point using the fingers. I also tried to shoot to the bridge with a Super Wide Angle (x42) attachment, but those shots are too freaky, even for me to upload. I left an f4 aperture ring in the lens for this shot, and used ISO 50 at 1/400th of a second. After converting the single RAW file, there was no processing done.
