THE PHOTO:
Archive hunting again, this time I decided to blend two exposures taken from atop the parking building adjacent to the Police HQ building in Docklands overlooking the historic Goods Shed building and facing intersection. A ninety-degree anti-clockwise view of the Docklands corridor taken from the same spot is here.

POST PROCESSING:
Two exposures blended (layers), crop, dodge/burn, levels.

THE PHOTO:
The last image here featured a woman walking across the Trang Tien Bridge in Hue, Vietnam. This shot shows the same bridge lighting up the Perfume River and the surrounding bank sides.

This bridge features a brilliant light-show at night where couples and groups along both banks can gather and watch as the lights shift from hue to hue.

POST PROCESSING:
Rotate, Levels, Dodge/Burn, Sharpen.

THE PHOTO:
Another shot of the ANZ building in Docklands, this time showing more of it's premium location next to the Yarra River mouth. My fascination with this massive ANZ bank building started before it was constructed with one of my first HDR shots in Melbourne (and before I even knew what I was looking at). Then when I moved to the Docklands area (I can actually throw a stone and hit the building), it took on a life of its own as it began to dominate the area.

POST PROCESSING:
Sharpen, Dodge/Burn, Levels.

OTHER:
OK, so this is not much more than an exercise in SEO domination of a key-phrase. Not even ANZ themselves optimizes for their flagship building's address. It's also to shut-up Jon who keeps pressuring me to do this. This photo was originally titled "ANZ Blue Hour".

THE PHOTO:
Taken during a recent pre-dawn outing around Docklands in Melbourne, I ventured to the top (18th floor) of a public car-park and peered over the top towards the west and took this shot of the Yarra River entrance, and the vehicle corridor that provides access for vehicles into this corner of the city.

I can say with certainty that I will be taking more shots from this great spot.

POST PROCESSING:
RAW pre-processing, Levels/Curves, USM, Color Balance, Crop.
