Taken on vacation trips

Library Discussion

Library Discussion
I walked past the State Library Victoria in Melbourne during my trip to Australia in December last year after missing the last free tram of the day. Struck by the dramatic evening lighting cast on the building exteriors, I did a web search and found that the La Trobe Reading Room within offers good photographic opportunities. We decided to make our way back and entered the library one morning. In the searing heat of summer, having the opportunity to take some candid photos in air-conditioned comfort (and in excellent photographic setting) was an additional bonus!

Twilight Upon The Webb Bridge

Twilight Upon The Webb Bridge
It was well past 9 PM when I took this shot of the Webb bridge after a late dinner in Melbourne. The twilight hour along with the clear skies that evening gave a brilliant blue cast to the sky. I was not planning to do night scene photography with long exposures on this trip and did not bring along a tripod. Luckily, resting my camera on my bag placed on the ground was all that I needed to get the final shot.
