Lonely woman

Hi guys,

I was in a pub at the rocks on Sunday afternoon and this entire section was empty apart from the 1 woman looking out the window.
Thought it might make a good shot?
Critique and comments welcomed.

I think Bob's right - The Australian, although I don't remember.
It's the one on the corner, two levels and they sell pints of beer! :D

It is the Australian Hotel... One of the only bars in Sydney that sells only Australian brewed beers...

Nice pics Matt... are they crops of the same shot???

I actually prefer the first one as you can see the rest of the room in the mirror... A little more grain and blur might add to the effect that I think you were trying to achieve...

They used to have the famous Burrogorang Bock, made by Geoff Sharrer at Picton. He owned this pub too. There's an upstairs that's worth having a look at, too.

They still do - and you can even order mini-casks of it - to be picked up at the Australian Hotel...

You see some interesting arguments there between bar staff and people who don't know any other beer than Sol or Heineken or Becks (all of which they don't sell)...

No they are two seperate shots taken in succession. Trying to get the most out of the limited time I had before she noticed and looked at me.

Lovely beers there. perhaps we should arrange a mini meet there and spend a nice Sunday afternoon drinki....i mean photographing.

I note that the people who know all about hotels and drinking are also the ones who have time to be on the net on a workday afternoon.......

There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness?
