My infrared version of this famous Melbourne landmark. Canon EOS450D and 18-55mm kit lens / HOYA R72 filter / f/5.6 / ISO400 / 13sec exposure So..how did I do it?? / Well, the best that I can remember is….. The image was converted to B&W with a Photoshop Action. Then I duplicated the layer and added a high pass filter to it then used Topaz Adjust on that layer and then altered the Opacity (I can’t remember what method I used when blending the layers…oops). (I may have also inverted this layer and added it aswell to give more contrast).... After combining those layers I then used Topaz Adjust again on the whole image, made it a hidden layer mask and just painted in the details on the building….or something like that!
Breeze is not something we often take into consideration when we’re using a camera. Light? Yes. Shadows? Yes. But breeze plays a large part in our consciousness if we’re shooting across bodies of water. In this case, the breeze was no lighter than the gentlest caress, which meant that the surface of the Yarra River here in Melbourne was almost still, with just the slightest ripples. Melbourne’s architecture has always fascinated me, long before I came here to live in this city. It’s a great combination of colonial-era buildings flanked by modern architecture – and this shot, I guess, is an interesting example of how the two styles co-exist. I shot this in 2007, just before sunrise, while standing on the pedestrian footbridge across the Yarra. The greenish tinge is the central dome above the station’s main entrance and is one of the city’s major landmarks. The broad golden band that stretches almost all the way across mid-frame (and its faithful reflection) is simply caused by the perimeter lights across the platform closest to the river. This was shot without a tripod. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. What you see is exactly what I shoot. Shot with a Pentax K100D. F4.5, 0.3 sec, ISO 800, focal length 34mm.

Flinders Street, Melbourne BEST VIEWED LARGE
best viewed using the VIEW LARGER function / Canon EOS 400D (528 views 10-11-2009) / I am re-submitting this after getting a bubble mail from my good friend Vikram who suggested a tighter crop… I gave it a go and bam, it made a huge difference! Thanks Vik for the good advice and for being honest with your feedback :) /
It’s not a neon sign! They’re real flowers. These orange crysanthemums were part of a display for sale at the florist in the main concourse of Flinders Street Station. These blooms, with roses and gerberas, were in very deep shadow on a winter afternoon about five weeks ago, in late June. I had just lined up a shot with the appropriate settings when without any warning the sun came out from behind a cloud. Simultaneously, a person standing between the sun and the flowers moved away. Immediately, the flowers were bathed in bright light and I decided to fire off a really tight frame anyway, just to see what the result would be. Sometimes capricious light can really give you interesting results when you least expect them. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 300mm. 115-8404
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.
Whilst in Melbourne this week I took a night stroll down towards the MCG from Federation Square off Flinders Street and photographed the Ferris Wheel that is often seen on RedBubble. A long exposure shot of the slowly turning wheel that is covered with ever changing lights revealed the patterns seen in this series of images. This shot incorporated the artistic structure that sits above the ferris wheel on a slight mound. Canon 400D – 17-85 lens.
