I was walking back along George St from Circular Quay one evening (with camera and tripod in hand as it happens - it was actually the end of the day of the SMH 1440 rally) and as I passed the Australia Square building I saw it was open and decided I might as well try some classic shots here at night whilst there were hardly any people around.

Australia Square is the generic name for an icon within the Sydney CBD. Situated on the corner of George and Bond Streets, the familiar 50 storey round tower building has been the focal point for the precinct since it's construction in 1967 when it earned its place in history as Sydney's first true office tower.

C&C encouraged (should I have monochromed the first (or even the second)?)

This first image is my take of the signature Keyhole image.

Keyhole

NIKON D7000 + 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 @ 8.5 mm, 5 sec at f/6.3, ISO 100

This second is in the main lift lobby of the tower building - as luck would have it completely empty for my purposes.

All Roads Lead...

BRILLIANT! Your eye was golden that day.

Although the first photo doesn't fully fit on my screen and gets cropped just above the top of the steps, I didn't see the scroll bar at first. I think I prefer it cropped without the steps.

Both of these are amazing! I would leave #1 as is, but #2 might be worth playing with the WB...it seems like it could be cooler

The first one is excellent .

Love the balance & symmetry of #1

The next one will have to use four!

There you go

Seriously - thanks - although I can't claim any credit for the idea for the first - someone at work mentioned the spot and said there was a famous image by Max Dupain taken there.

Key hole is a wonderful POV

Love the composition of the first.
