I bought a new camera on the weekend - another Canon Powershot, but this time an SX 230 HS - a few steps up from what I had. I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with it yet, but I did take a few photos coming home last night.
* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
Great night time shots. Love the colour on the ferris wheel.
ReplyDeleteHandheld? You've got to be happy with those results, right?
ReplyDeleteThe results look pretty good in the evening shots. SX 230 HS looks like a good one to have on trips etc. HD video isn´t a bad idea either.
