Day Four

Day Four

Was in Melbourne tonight roaming around Southbank, captured the facial expression of this kid…priceless.

Adds a bit of mystery to the image.

Some skies and a bridge.

Uploaded some photos I had in my collection last night. Enjoy.

I was driving down some road and saw this, the camera was on my passenger seat. I snapped it while driving..Probably should have stopped and set something up.

Another walk bridge.
This was taken a few years ago, after the Australian Open. Connects Melbourne Park to the MCG I think over some of the railway lines. I thought the purple lights came out great.

I finally took some photos.

Over the last..some months.. I have been busy with everything besides using my camera. Motivated by..the heat of the recent 30 degree Melbourne day and wanting to get OUT of the house, I drove down to Docklands and snapped a bunch of photos…3 of which I present to you here.It was actually a bit educational as I learnt about some of the things in these photos..I.e that John Kelly sculpture..

It was a nice way to spend an hour or so wandering around on such an awesome Spring night.

Click the photo to view larger ones @ my flickr site.

My car (again)Drove past this building, thought that it would make a nice backdrop for my car. Somewhat related is the 2, the model of the car is a 200SX. Make of it what you will. This was located around the Docklands area. Cropped the sky off this one, this was around sunset.

Art?An art sculpture of a cow, up a tree which lives permanently in Melbourne’s Docklands precinct. It was made by John Kelly and was based around flood imagery from Australia. The sun was setting, and for some reason I like putting the sun behind things so here we go. Plus the sky was looking pretty cool… Initially this was a portrait oriented image but I cropped it a bit and adjusted some levels as well.

Docklands, MelbourneI haven’t been around Docklands for awhile, so i’m not sure if the silhouette of a large green and red ball is always there but it made it into this photo. I assume it might be there for Christmas..either way, I’d like to find out what the story is behind the pillars left in the water. I know the caps on them are to stop seagulls standing on them, but i think they’re just left over foundations of whatever used to be there.

Southbank, Melbourne – Feb 2010

For the past 3 weeks, Tuesday nights in Melbourne have seen a decent gathering of rollers the Riverslide skatepark. If you’re up for some chill sessions you should come down and check it out.

During this time we’ve also made some new international friends by the name of Dave (USA) and Zack (Europe) – So shout outs to those guys.

Last night a few of us went for a look down Southbank by the Yarra river, Unfortunately I didn’t have my sync cables fso was relying on the SB-26′s optical slave function..

Here’s a few simple snaps I ran off while we were there.
