4:00am on a cloudy morning, there has just been some light rain as I arrive to take some photos. The atmosphere is peaceful and still. A new day is on its way. In the distance the trucks are starting to roll over the Swan street bridge and by the banks of the Yarra river the occasional motivated jogger runs by with a friendly hello and that secret nod of being part of the early rises group

Sitting over the metro rail lines of Melbourne is Federation Square. This building once controversial is now a beloved part of the Melbourne cityscape. On a warm summers night I found myself catching the remaining light of the sunset. The low light allowed me use long exposure to effect with the trains below.

Where Collins and Bourke streets meet in Docklands is this view of a sharp electric blue building known as “Light House”. The long exposure providing the light trails complete this shot along with a small aperture to create the star bursts.

Melbourne Australia is a modern city that keeps its green edge with many parks and gardens right on the fringe of the CBD. This view of the Melbourne skyline is from Birrarung Marr, a new park that opened in 2002 on reclaimed land. Birrarung Marr has become a gathering place and venue for many festivals including Moomba and the Australian Open. This image shows a great contrast between the green spaces surrounding Melbourne and the city itself.
