This one is for my good friend and photographer buddy Andrew www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom/.
This image was one of Andrew's favourites of my early attempts at photography but I hadn't got around to posting it.
Today is a good day to post it as one journey ends and another begins.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung.....
And take lots of planes, trains and automobiles and gentle walks in woodlands.
No, don't adjust your glasses, you are not going mad :) (Look away if you get vertigo).
I spent a lovely day in the City with Andrew and Ali www.flickr.com/photos/alideniese/ the master of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). She showed us some techniques and we had loads of fun. So much colour and movement in the city. It is alot harder than you might think to make it work and out of the 100 plus images I took, I only came away with a couple that I think worked (you may disagree of course!). This one is of our iconic Flinders St Station.
We had a lovely evening in Melbourne town with my Flickr friends of many years over the weekend. Dinner at a Japanese Restaurant where Vegan options were many, followed by a wander around looking at Christmas lights. It was so busy, wall to wall people so hard to find a spot to be still and take photos. But then-that is Christmas isn't it!
Our iconic Flinders Street Station lit up beautifully this Christmas.
This image “Sunset in Flinders Lane” was my submission for the Artists Down Under magazine monthly theme of “The Tim Palmer Technique”.
Tim Palmer is another member of the Awake artists group, and this technique results in stylised cityscapes and can be described briefly as follows;
- Start with a city scene and stretch it out vertically to make it larger and more dramatic
- Duplicate that and give it a vertical motion blur for even more drama and assign it a blend mode.
- Experiment blending in other duplicates, possibly after running them through other filters (eg Stylize > Find Edges) or running it through a Topaz or Nik filter.
- Blend in other “ghosted” city images (maybe motion blur those as well) or simply blend in an enlarged duplicate of the main image.
- Fix anything that looks funny. Layer in any extra details.
- Add any post production toning (eg Color Lookup adjustment layers, and maybe add a vignette.
This image, and two others of mine, and a Photoshop article I have written are in the August magazine which you can find here if interested.

Sat down at Flinders and Swanston St intersection for a while, was hoping the horses and carriages might have returned, they didn't while I was there. I like a light trail almost as much as I like a firework.
Waiting for a tram outside of Flinders Street Station, one of the busiest intersections in Melbourne CBD. Hence: No Right Turn.
A pushbike rider braves the intersection, leaves the footpath and crosses Flinders St, continues along Swanston St.
There are many shortcuts laneways and back streets to navigate your way through Melbourne.
As a Melbournite and weekend photographer you get pretty good at finding them. Here's one right in the middle of the city, a lady walking through near a church in a what can be shady laneway.
Enter at your own risk, its dark, cold and a little scary on your own if walking at night.
... but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Ladies and gentlemen, damoyoungsf and random discoveries.
Flinders St Station, Melbourne, VIC
This is processed with autostitch (three pics), swankolab and perfectly clear.
Flinders Street Station is Australia’s oldest train station, and with its distinctive facade and green copper dome it’s a city icon. Takeaway stands line the concourse, and the upper floors were purpose-built to house a library, gym and a lecture hall, later used as a ballroom.
Flinders Street is the busiest suburban railway station in the southern hemisphere, with over 1500 trains and 110,000 commuters passing through each day. Listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, its 708-metre main platform is the fourth longest railway platform in the world.

The most stealthy car I've seen in a while I think!!! Superb example of a black Countach, spotted rolling down Flinders St, Melbourne.
What do you think of this shot and editing? The car was pretty awesome :D
If all goes to plan, you should be seeing some more Countach's on my stream soon ;)

Thanks to Cally & marco.tortato for your very quick response
HAVE A GREAT WEEK END TO EVERY BODY
Taken from the steps of St Pauls Cathedral, a most impressive old church in Melbourne, not ideal as there is plenty of 'stuff' in the road and in the frame, but it is what it is.
Mentioned a few photos back how the Yashica-Mat is no fun for shooting at night. Sure is good at isolating a subject though, and the bokker's not too bad.
