Thanks, Bill. Um...I just point and shoot! I thought it was time that I learnt how to use all the settings on my camera, so I've signed up to do a one-day course in a few weeks, which I'm hoping will make for better photos (from a technical perspective at least).
It´s a very enjoyable photo but I´m really puzzled why you have so many trains and big trainstation there yet nobody is using them! I used to like hanging out at train stations long time ago. Maybe some day.
The way you have captured that roof line is stunning. Complements the line provided by the centre lighting. Lovely lighting for someone who reckons she has NFI what she is doing!!
Hey chrome. It is a bit strange, isn't it? These are the platforms for regional and interstate trains, so I can only assume that there were no more departures for the rest of the evening. although it wasn't *that* late - around 9 or 9.30.
Hi Julie. Thanks. Yes, I was rather pleased at how it turned out myself! I wouldn't say NFI...but fairly close!
* 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.
Very nice! Of course, I love photos of stations any time.
ReplyDeleteIs that a slightly long exposure?

Last time I was at Flinders Street, I saw THE picture I wanted just for a split second. By the time I got the camera out, it had passed.
ReplyDeleteThis more than compensates. I will come back to look at this one again and again, as tragic as that is to admit!
Nice symmetrical shot
