Hey db. They are, but quite intermittently, it seems. One across the road from the Arts Centre wasn't going, but I'd seen it operating a few weeks back. It was latish though.
Some night shots are going OK. Cityscapes...not to much.
do you have a tripod Jayne? seems like an odd question hahaha!
fred bought me a cool one for my birthday - it is about 10cm high and is bendable with 3 grippy legs, so you can attach it to poles, fences, trees etc as well as using on the floor. it's super light too, so if you have a giant handbag like me you can take it everywhere without too much hassle. it helps with night shots because you can use a much longer exposure without having to stress about blurring.
I do have a little one like that and I do have it tucked away in my big bag, but often find I'm out and about with a different small bag when I need to use it. Blur isn't really the issue with night shots though - or the only issue.

* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city

* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.

* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
Ooooh - la la... glorious!
ReplyDeleteAt least the fountains are going again around Melbourne. After having them all turned off for so long to try and save a few litres.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting the night shots to work a bit better?
Thanks Cath!
