That bus is very dominating, but it does give a good base to lead your eye up the high-rises.

 

[NickD]

Good one Nick.

Thanks!

I was thinking of doing the same thing Nick, lots of unfinished building in downtown but I didn't make it that far. Good shot.

Cheers!
It's constant in that area, From the time my office moved down there a few years ago it's unrecognisable.

Thanks!
It was only really the colours that made it.

Nicely done, love the colours

Cheers!
The bus was a lucky break.

That bus is very dominating, but it does give a good base to lead your eye up the high-rises.

Thanks!
It is a bit heavy, but without it there's no shot.

The colours didn't really need anything doing to them.

It's the long suffering Mrs, bless her. She's not a fan of posing, but I reckon she does it pretty well.

I went for one in between the poses, it seemed to have more character.

I'm not usually one for portraits, but I quite enjoyed it.

I was pleased when the theme came up, it lends itself to the tech.

Nice one Nick. Nice lighting.

I was trying to get it a bit Rembrandt-ish.

The Chapter House particularly is lovely.

That's nice Nick

Thanks!
It's laid out to be photographed, although I'm sure that's not what the designers had in mind at the time.

The last time I was in that building, half of it was sheeted off as a result of the fire... and I would have been wearing my school uniform.
