On AW Saturday, Keith and I filled the time between minimeet and dinner with a walk around The Rocks. In the afternoon we stumbled across an art exhibition in one of the former warehouses on Pier <?>. On the top floor it had a mind-boggling display of 180,000 clay figurines made by 350 Chinese people, and packed densely on the floor arounf some old machinery.

This is what they looked like (about 15cm high on average):



And this is the sea of clay made up of all 180,000 of them:



On the way out of the warehouse I snapped off this one. Too much contrast really to manage, but I liked the glow of the afternoon sun on the floorboards, and the city reflection in the windows.



Cheers
Steffen.

Steffen, what's not to like? These pictures are just incredible!

Steffen - the first 2 are amazing and the last one, just brilliant.

Lovely shots Steffen, as we said at the dinner, can't wait to go and see it for ourselves . Definitely will be bringing a tripod.

I love #2, but I doubt that any number of megapixels could capture that type of detail. An incredible exhibit, well done in capturing it

I reckon what limited resolution was technique rather than megapixels. A tripod would have been the key. There wasn't a lot of light. I had upped the ISO to 800 already, but could still only stop down to f/4 while reaching my handhold limit (1/30s with the 24mm f/2.8 ). Therefore, there is some camera shake and too little DOF.

Thanks all for your nice comments!

Cheers

that's the Sydney Biennale, titled Zones of Contact at Pier 2 right below from where i work

Antony Gormley's artwork is one of the best contemporary art installations you will ever see

and stefen you captured the scale magnificently

i visit this installation at least once a week it's just breathtaking and inspirational

What a mind boggling display. Well captured Steffen

Great shots Steffen. Good eye to pick up the last shot too. Cheers,
