If you ask us to choose between being in the city or being in the ocean, the ocean wins on most occasions! But sometimes, a wander around the Docklands of Melbourne at night has a special appeal.
So during crisp winter evenings, I sometimes take the opportunity to experiment with night photography in the company of photographer friend, Leanne Cole: no Milky Way, no starry nights, but sunsets, the magic blue hour and plenty of illuminations and reflections as the city buildings light up.
Here is a small gallery of those experiments:
Fire in the sky at Docklands, Long Exposure
Docklands – f/8, 6 sec, ISO 100
Blue hour at Docklands – f/8, 10 sec, ISO 100
Sunset behind the Bolte Bridge

Hi TakeitEasy,
We were put onto your lovely blog by our friend Meredith who rowed beside you in Port MacQuarie.
We are a couple who cruise in our 38′ Seawind 1160 ‘Nimrod’, and also enjoy photography.
This our blog. http://nimrodcat.blogspot.com.au
I hope our paths cross one day.
Cheers
Dave and George
