These are all quite interesting Leigh, but for me I just keep coming back to the wonderful simplicity of the last one.

Posted: **Fri Jul 14, 2006 9:17 pm**

The last one is my favourite too, but the whole series has a strange appeal to it, I'm not sure why.

#1 too many conflicting angles
#2 boring
#3 boring
#4 boring

Your statue photo was in a class light years ahead of these pics

Tell us what you really think Chris! :lol:

I find #1 is a bit too dark on my monitor and not sure I like the result.
#2 & #3 have a foreboding sense to them and I think they are great.
Not sure that I like #4 either. Loved the last post of the soldier - great feel to it.
Cheers,
Mick

See how diverse criticism can be? :lol:

Nice bridge - lots of potential.....I'm still wondering how I can stand in the middle of the roadway and take some shots looking up and get away with it....

Most of these images are too dark on my monitor....

Cheers

I'd say be careful and do it very early in the morning.

My take.
Last one is good.
Rest is too dark. Hope this helps

In #1 the sign and lampposts bug me.

I don't mind #2. It kinda has a Bladerunner feel to it.

#3 and #4 are both great abstracts. I like the treatment, except I'd perhaps want to keep a little detail in the tower in #3.

#1 is too dark, (or stark), #2 & 3 are great while I agree with Peter about #4, it's a knockout. :wink:

Easy.

Get a Kia. Have it break down in the middle lane.

Perferrably not during the morning rush hour.

Or use an SLK, roof down, and drive really slowly :lol:

... or a Lotus, a brake hard to get down to the speed limit before the coppers get you on the other side!

Wonder where I'd find one of those ?

In all seriousness, while I've thought of doing this on the coathanger and the suspension bridge at Northbridge, the Anzac isn't one of my favourites, and thus I'd never considered this.

But it reminds me of when, about a month after moving to California, we had a rental car for a weekend, and although a sub-compact hadd been booked, the only car left in Mr Budget's yard was this brand new Camaro convertible. Just the thing for a Saturday trek through the Napa.

And especially for a sunset ride, in early spring, back into San Francisco, across the Golden Gate bridge.

There are some experiences in life that are beyond description, and beyond photography.

Thaddeus, have you tried that in a chopper yet?

I've actually been down the middle of the Anzac Bridge - mind you, I was doing a marathon at the time, didn't have a camera and by that stage was semi-conscious anyway :oops:

Leigh, I really like the last shot - simple and effective. I've visited the AB and got some B/W shots too (see the Sydney section on my image website) - lots of potential there, but I still don't think I've nailed it.

Gee tough audience to work with

I love number three.

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 1:31 pm**

I don't think I've had such diverse opinions since that blurry pic...

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 5:25 pm**

Leigh No 3 is different and interesting enough!

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 5:57 pm**

great, powerful imagery

like the composition and contrast
these are some of the most artistic photos i have seen of the bridge

Posted: **Sat Jul 15, 2006 7:30 pm**

Thanks!

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:07 pm**

I like the first and last ones the most. I dont usually like this kind of photography but this serieds appeals to me.

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 3:42 pm**

nah... not for me I'm afraid... thinking that Chris's reponse pretty much mirrrors my thoughts... although I suspect it's as much due to the subject as the images and composition.... go back to blurry pics Leigh... I like those...
