Adelaide is no metropolis Photo

Photographer’s Note

Adelaide is no Metopolis when it comes to it's skyline. Rather small in comparison to many other capital cities around. The Westpac Building (formally the SANTOS building) is the biggest building in Adelaide, and rather obvious at any angle of the CBD.

This is the reason why I miss carrying a camera with me at all times, so I can capture moments like this one. It was early morning on a weekend (which is a rare sight for me) and I was strolling through town and came across this scene. Our buildings maybe small but from this angle it looks as if it's in the clouds none the less.

Hello Andrew,
It looks like a skyscraper from this angle. Good POV & blue sky with white clouds looks pretty good.
Well done.

Hi Andrew, very good perspective on this building. It may not be as tall as some others in other cities, but you've done a good job of making it look huge. Very good sharp detail seen throughout, and excellent colour and contrast with that sky.

Thanks, John

Wow!!! Lil' ol' Adelaide looks great from this angle. You captured the Westpac building well and i really like the lines and the contrast of colours.

Very well done!

Hi Andrew,
Yes Adelaide is no metropolis but it is large enought and lively enough (1million people?). This buidling does look quite tall (40 storeys?).
I love the angle and composition here and the reflection on the edifice with sky is impressive. Very sharp and great colour. Very good work.
Regards
Justin
