Melbourne By Blue Photo

Photographer’s Note

As Henk (Floydian) asked me to post another photo of Australia, here it is.

I was born in Melbourne but it certainly didn't look like this when I was growing up. This photo of Webb Bridge with the Rialto on the right (second tallest building in Melbourne) was taken from the Yarra's Edge precinct which is part of the new Docklands suburb.

As Toni was using the tripod, this was hand held.

Comme Henk (Floydian) m'a demandé de poster une photo d'Australie, voici-la.

Je suis née à Melbourne mais elle ne ressemblait pas du tout à cela durant mon enfance et adolescence. Cette image du pont Webb avec le Rialto à droite (2ème bâtiment le plus haut de Melbourne) a été prise depuis Yarra's Edge qui fait parti du nouveau quartier des Docklands.

Comme Toni utilisait le trépied, celle-ci a été faite avec la main.

Hi Nikki,
How nice that you thought of me ;-)
I have never been to Melbourne, but it seems it has a lot to offer.
Seeing this blue hour shot taken hand-held is really good. Still a lot of sharpness and high on detail. The reflection in the water and the slights that shine created a nice touch to it...i like it, so please post some more from down under.
Regards, Henk

Salut Nikki
Il est tout de meme génial le stabilisateur du VR18-200, n'est ce pas ?
Le résultat est splendide avec ces reflets qui en mettent plein les mirettes
Amicalement

Bonsoir Nikki
je vois que les photos d'intro suivent la mode du moment ;o) belle photo avec une excellente gestion des différentes lumières. La vue est nette malgré le fait que Toni ne voulait pas te prêter le pied. Bravo.

Hola Nikki
Una exposicion muy bien capturada,
me gusta mucho la manera en que las luces de los edificios han sido capturadas. UN pequeno comentario es que el edificio a la izquierda esta cortado y se veria mejor dentro del cuadro.
Toni ya no mete nada ultimamente?
Un saludo
Daniel

Hello Nikki,

I have not been to Melbourne either, I must get down there soon. I like the time you have chosen to take this image, not quite dark but allowing a bit of navy blue dusk to act as the backdrop. The subsequent light reflection on some of the glassy buildings is very effective, the only way to take this type of shot in Brisbane would be pre-dawn due to the eastern profile aspect of the city. Excellent reflections, I lke the looming boat also. have a good day, your images always are eye-catchers.

Hola Nikki,

Muy bella imagen, los edificios con sus reflejos están muy bien caputrados, el azul oscuro tanto del cielo como del mar es muy intenso y crea un buen contraste con las luces más cálidas, de la ciudad. Buena perspectiva diagonal que da dinamismo a a foto. Gracias.

Un saludo,
Angel.

Hola Nikki.

Que mamoncete el Toni no? Pégale una "colleja" de mi parte.

Eso si, para ser una foto hecha pulso es impresionante! Buenísima definición y los colores son grandes, grandes!

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola Nikki,

Para no haber utilizado trípode el resultado es muy bueno, gran trabajo nocturno, muy equilibrado y con una bella atmósfera, la ciudad al fondo y los reflejos en el agua llaman positivamente mi atención.

Saludos
José

Hola otra vez, Nikki.

Buena foto nocturna con unos buenos reflejos sobre el agua y con el skyline de fondo.
Pero con todo, me quedo con otro detalle de la foto: 1/6 segundos de exposición y no hay trípode.

Un saludo para todos.

Hi Niki,
Since your wetlands photo is one of my favs, I hope you don't mind if I spend a little more time in Australia with you. Australia in general and particularly Melbourne BIGTIME!! That walkway (??) is amazing; it makes a splendid focal point for this blue hour shot. As is consistently true with your shots, color and detail is exellent.
HLJ, Pat
