Man in black

Geoff you are right I can do better

Taken at Sydney's central station yesterday, mainly somewhere out of the rain for a photo-class shoot.

There is a good story around this shoot - the security guards hauled the whole lot of us in to the Station Managers office - obviously a lot of sensitivity around the date and all.

Then, we were asked to sign in, given official badges (OK, stickers!) and allowed to do as we pleased and to sign out afterwards. So this meant I got access to all the platforms and wandered around - the ticket officers just waved me on through.

The security was unfailingly polite and courteous, and I must look like a camera-nerd 'cos I ended up having a long chat to the station manager afterwards about best DSLR to buy!!!

So - thank you Central station, and a lesson in what you can do if you just ask!



oh - and kudos to NNNNSic I tried his trick of slightly desaturating the background to make the subject stand out, worked well even with a dark subject I think.

Interesting shot, the silheoutte (if I can call it that) reminds me of Hitman 47, the bags just need to be a guitar case I like it Justin, and look forward to more shots from your shooting session.

Cool shot Justin. I think it would look better with the top cropped to just above the cross. The hit man in front and the cross in the top left. Nice work. Cheers, Mick

Nice one oscar I hadn't even seen that - I liked the crossing sign with the legs in the same position as his though.

Yeah cool shot - I'd be tempted to give it a b&w treatment...

[ozczecho]

Gee, should read the transcript b4 commenting .

I was at Central last week walking all over without any hassle, even up the platform when they announced that the Indian ghan(I think) was coming over from Perth...

I tried B&W and didn't like it I think it works better with some colour
