The Brisbane Eye

Playing with shutter speeds...

While down at Southbank I took some photos of the "Brisbane Eye" our own answer to the London Eye! Some slow shutter speeds made the ferris wheel look like it was going much faster then in reality.

Both these shots were taken with a shutter speed of about 2 seconds.

Funky Neon

There is this cool Neon sign down at Southbank. Every time I walk past it I think that I'd like to photograph it... Well I finally did.

I took a number of shots, mainly just of the neon, but I like the crop that includes the lonely seat. I actually added a little bit of grain to this shot to add to the drama.

Then I went a little crazy in photoshop.... I can't quite decide which one I like best. I'd love to get some comments on whether the photoshop is funky or just too much...

...and cropped to make it a little more abstract...
