    Ohhh...how lovely! The way that you've composed this makes me think of a fan...what is this building used for? Who are the lucky folk who get to enjoy it?

    The Queen Victoria Building houses a large collection of speciality shops, so these wonderful windows, staircases and architecture can be shared by thousands of shoppers daily :)

    Alas, it was raining on the day we visited so no outside shots (it has domes on the roof).

    There's a website here: www.qvb.com.au/

    I like the perspective. Really beautiful image. The QVB is a great building. I must get in there and try a few shots

    We were wandering around and I was going 'shoot that!' 'oooh! shoot *that*!' and I never do that when we aren't working :)

    Thanks Alexandra, you're right it is indeed a great building. It was the first time I'd been to it and I think it's worth another visit next time I'm down that way. I've got a few more to upload too.

    Thanks Kev :)

    Beautiful perpective, Dave! It gives a feeling that you've shot it with a fisheye lens. It's like what Lea said: photo-licious! :o)
  • David de Groot said:
    And yet it was only the kit lens at 28mm :) Thanks Margot.

    Beautiful windows. Interesting perspective (not the usual front view).
  • David de Groot said:
    Yep :) I might even have a front-on view shot, but I liked this one better.

    'twas a difficult place to shoot at Christmas time without getting people in the shot.
