Up Stream

A few days ago, I went with my son as the day faded from afternoon to evening to get some images of Brisbane along its broad river a little upstream of the CBD.  It was a lot of fun and I managed to score some iconic images of the river, its bridges and our fair city.

Tis expedition was largely exploratory and we intend going back again, in the near future,  to take more images from similar viewpoints but while there is more light and colour in the sky.  Next time the images should be even more striking.

I went to Brisbane’s South Bank to check out the Brisbane Wheel at night, and these are some of the images I came away with. In two of them the rotating wheel is reflected in the new ABC Brisbane studios, still under construction.

All of the images required the use of a small aperture (mostly f25 or f29) and shutter speeds between 4 and 20 seconds.
