From Taronga to the Quay

I jumped on the ferry this afternoon for a quick trip into the city, before heading back to Richmond, before heading to Crows Nest tomorrow, then heading back to Richmond, then heading to the airport....... :violin:

Actually, I made a quick visit to the State library in Macquarie street as my good friend and neighbour, Geoff Lee, has a few photos on exhibit there. One of these days I'll post his life story on this forum. He is an amazing photographer, and his clients have included Elizabeth Taylor, Omar Sharif, Louis Armstrong. He also worked with Helmut Newton and Lord Snowden in London before becoming DJs head photographer for 15 years. I am starting to ramble ....

Here's a few from the X10.

#1 breaks the "don't lead out of the frame rule" and proves the futility of living just by rules in the process. It's a great image with a wonderful sense of scale. The last image is my pick though - there's a great air of mystery to it.

I agree, great image, maybe dial down the white/brightness a bit? Actually, the more I look, the more I really like that composition.
