This is absolutely gorgeous! I love all the curvatures involved. Theres a very circular theme to the whole thing and it's almost calming to me. I love it!
Totally, Brenda. I am addicted to it also. However, in this image, I wanted each of the settings to echo that magnificent curve in the counter of the coffee shop.
This was taken whilst I waited for Harvey Norman to open to pick up prints of my grand-daughter.
It is interesting how one's eye matures with camera in hand.
Bruce - Yep, nearly always have the strap around my neck as I am often over water.
Joan - Not many people as it was 930am Saturday morning and I wanted the photos pronto to take to show my father. Too many people would ruin it I suspect.
I just got a touch of vertigo (from which I don't suffer) looking at this picture, the vertigo kicked in when I imagined you did one of your 'hang from a dangerous place to take the shot' moves. Great picture - be careful.
Vertigo, yes. How in the world did you get a photo from a camera that appears to be dangling from a great height? Hope you had a parachute as well as the camera on your neck strap. Terrific shot.
I read all your blogs, looking for 'B' and having responded to the dizziness inventory, I wondered how you fared taking this picture! I could have done it once but not any more. My score came out at66 by the way. Your church pictures are fabulous. I love that amber light. I was in Sydney in 2006, by the way. Loved your above ground railway, (hope I have the right place - we were also in New Zealand). But I DID see and love the opera house
Having done the Dizziness Inventory last week I am realising that there were a couple of things that I had been glossing over. The bed thing. I wake during the night and in the morning feeling nauseous.
There was no problem with this photograph. The balaustrade was under my armpits (at 5' 1" that is not hard!) but I always adopt a wide stance.
We have both above ground and subway railways in the city, so you could have the right place in mind. Confusing us with NZ is not a good move, however. *grin*
Wow that was a fast response -- from thousands of miles away. I agree with you,no medication, no surgery. I do find it hard to push myself unless it's to the cat shelter!), but the rest I do as You do.
Wonderful photograph - the repeating curves accentuate the design of the building. It's rather like standing at the stern of a ship and feeling oneself irresistibly drawn down . . . almost :-)
Amazing and unusual perspective! Love the different shapes and lines. Tones are well managed and the comprehensive view lets the eye jump from a level to another. great!
BTW we also had only two cats, but our son moved from a house in London to an Appartment in Amsterdam and his cats didn't get used to living inside, so of course mom had to take them, lol !

Ha ! Was just there this afternoon buying a new pair of specs.
ReplyDeleteCool perspective.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! My daughter might even call it a shopping paradise.
ReplyDeleteOh, Wow! That is great! Terrific shot for the B Day and definitely my kind of place! Love your photo! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Eek! Hope no-one jumps!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo! Love the perspective, looking down - you see patterns you'd never notice at ground level, don't you?
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! I love all the curvatures involved. Theres a very circular theme to the whole thing and it's almost calming to me. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific perspective of a scene so familiar to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a remarkable composition this makes!
ReplyDeleteI've obviously got a problem! I have a burning desire to rush down and neaten the tables. Is it possible to be addicted to symmetry?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab perspective :)
ReplyDeleteTotally, Brenda. I am addicted to it also. However, in this image, I wanted each of the settings to echo that magnificent curve in the counter of the coffee shop.

Excellent. I've thought about doing a shot like this at a few different Westfield shopping centres.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the community. I think you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture and the perspective. It made me kind of dizzy.
What an absolutely wonderful photo of the world of curves! Thank you so much for joining us on ABC Wednesday and I look forward to entry for C!

Good shot, Julie, I hope you had the strap around your neck.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective. As you said, amazing what you see when there is a camera in hand. Not many people in the shot.
ReplyDeleteBruce - Yep, nearly always have the strap around my neck as I am often over water.
ReplyDeleteJoan - Not many people as it was 930am Saturday morning and I wanted the photos pronto to take to show my father. Too many people would ruin it I suspect.
ground control to major Tom - great photo.

ReplyDeleteVertigo, yes. How in the world did you get a photo from a camera that appears to be dangling from a great height? Hope you had a parachute as well as the camera on your neck strap. Terrific shot.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this shot!

ReplyDeleteI would get dizzy up there !

I thought I recognised this place, great angle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot this is. Thanks for sharing!

The architectural "movement" in the photo is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot - makes me a wee bit dizzy!
