The Skillion in black and white

The Skillion

The Skillion

I seldom photograph landscapes with showing them in black and white. Today however I tried exactly that. So, here is the photograph of the Skillion at Terrigal photographed in HDR (three blended exposures) and converted to black and white.

Either waiting for someone or simply soaking the warmth of the midday sun this Asian girl was rested against the tree and watching the crowds of people go by.

In the news - Financial Review

Financial Review

Financial Review

If you follow the markets you are probably aware of serious downturn in the economy underpinned by serious money management errors in USA. However, if you look at this man and his smile while he is reading the Financial Review it seems he invested smartly, so for some the news is always good.

This photograph of a balding man against a backdrop of a construction site with a sign “The bald man is coming!” is probably a very typical coincidence humour captured by street photographers.

Lunch in an alley

Lunch in an alley MG_6535

One could be forgiven for thinking a scene like that would have been photographed somewhere in Europe in one of the older towns. It has all the attributes: narrow street, small cafe with people having good time over lunch and to complete the scene a number of scooters parked near by. No it is not Italy, it is center of Sydney.
For some reason in last few days I have found quite a few places like that. This city is full of surprises.

Older Muslim Woman

I have photographed this older Muslim woman at the top end of Martin Place in Sydney. She was talking to someone, however a tree obscured that person thus I have only focused on her. Surrounded by the morning crowd of office workers is a typical suit attire she looked almost unaware of the morning rush hour.
Taking into account the amount of press devoted to the issue of Muslims in recent times this scene was somehow surreal. No one cared how she looked or dressed. No one paid any attention to her at all. This is Australia and I think there is a lot more tolerance in this society than we give ourself credit for.
