Manly, Brisbane

It seems as if I am only getting out to take photos about once a month, but at least the photos are worth the wait.

This photo was taken at Manly, a suburb of Brisbane, which seems to have so much potential yet is largely filled with old Queenslanders (a style of house). I think given a few more years and a savvy council with good urban planning, the location will be spectacular.

Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast

It’s been a long time between posts – I haven’t touched my D700 in more than 3 months, not since we’ve moved up to Brisbane. This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:30 am and drove to Burleigh Heads (about 1.5 hour drive) with a friend to catch the 6:12 am sunrise. Definitely worth it I think.

Torrens Island Power Station

Also from the Dry Creek Saltfields photo wander – this one is of the Torrens Island Power Station. Will need to come back on a day with good sunset or fog and the chimneys at full force….

Digging Salt

Another picture from the second outing with Ganessan to try and take pictures of the Dry Creek Saltfields area.

Electric Rain

We did try to get another vantage point of the Dry Creek Saltfields, but the rain hampered us somewhat. This image was taken after driving around to the back of the fields, where the large electrical transmission lines were more easily visible. Despite the swamps, salty air, and large electrical lines, there were a few residential houses nearby…

Dry Creek Saltfields

It was quite difficult to discover the actual name of this place. Called the Dry Creek Saltfields (because there is a creek named Dry Creek nearby) it apparently started production in 1940 and covers an area of some 4,000 hectares. This was the first time I tried to find a vantage point to take some photos, and this location was not the best. I have since used Google Maps to scout a potential better location, and hopefully will have more success on the next trip.

Dark Viewing

Viewing platform for a fantastic view of the jetty. Such a pity I didn’t take my strobe along to light up the seating area.

Some graffiti down an alleyway near Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia.
