This week I have returned to QVB to photograph the center west staircase. The challenges for the photographer are quite numerous for this task. The staircase is quite small and thus not allowing for a good angle. The bottom level is notoriously dark. You should see three flights of stairs but in fact the last one is barely there. I also always wish for a tall ladder so I could capture more of the top level too. Finally, one needs to be super patient as QVB is a very popular destination and to see all three levels of stairs without people takes some time.
I was passing a stairway over the railway station and I have noticed the stairs seemed to lead to the emerging moon. I thought it created an interesting view for this photograph especially with the shadow play on the stairs.
A girl with a hippie bag in worn jeans walking up the stairs leading to a church on one side and ultra modern office tower on another. Does it all fit together? Does it have to?
I took this action shot quite by accident. I was actually aiming for the empty Opera House stairs when this young woman simply run into the frame. Thank you. Impeccable timing.
