Story Bridge

Blue Hour.

Shot from Fortitude Valley this evening at the end of a flickr meet that started at the Caxton Hotel, went to the The Powerhouse, Newfarm Park and then ended up here.

See where this picture was taken.

    Thanks Cecily :) Quite similar to one I did at this time last year, but it's always nice to revisit locations.
    Thanks Pete - yeah, as iconic as Sydney's Coat-hanger :)

    Just beautiful!

    Thanks, it's a good spot for a Story Bridge photo, although it'd be better without the fence so you could get right to the edge of the cliff. (understandably, the council frowns on such activities)

    I climb over the wall at the rotunda on the Kangaroo Point cliffs. Hmmmmm. Gets me thinking ;)
  • David de Groot said:
    I'd have climbed over the fence there but it's topped with spikes and well, I value what's between my legs ;-)

    @ David: LOL. Know what you mean!

    Wonderful atmosphere here!
    (Can't believe there's only been four people comment.)
    I love the layering of colour, the lead up to the bridge and the city skyline beyond... Great shot.

    Thanks Michael. As for the lack of comments, well it's a shot that's really been done to death by just about everyone in Brisbane (hell I've done it on three separate occasions). But it is rather pretty. :)

    Love it - could shoot the Story Bridge morning, noon and night :)
  • David de Groot said:
    mezza76au - It's definitely a pretty good subject ;-)

    Beautiful! Very pretty colours. The fading dusk really set this off.
    I never made it to this side of Bris during my week stay. Really wanted to shoot from Kangaroo Point too. Meh, maybe next time.

    KP's not a bad spot for a cityscape. Best to do it about 10-20mins after sunset, on a weekday (more lights in the buildings).
    Wilson's Outlook (where I shot this), is the prime spot for Story Bridge shots though.
