Story Bridge in Brisbane Australia for Sunday Best


 Brisvegas is alive.

The Story Bridge is a heritage listed steel cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River that carries vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the northern and the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia.

The road across the bridge is named Bradfield Highway. The bridge connects Fortitude Valley to Kangaroo Point. The Story Bridge opened in 1940 and was tolled until 1947. It is named after prominent public servant John Douglas Story.

Given the early settlement of Kangaroo Point, there is a long history of residents wanting a bridge between the Brisbane CBD and Kangaroo Point. Even while the first Victoria Bridge was being constructed between North Brisbane and South Brisbane in 1865, several hundred people were petitioning for a second bridge to be built from the Customs House to Kangaroo Point. In 1888, a meeting was held in the Brisbane Town Hall to demand a bridge connecting either George Street, Albert Street or Edward Street via the City Botanic Gardens with any loss of the land from the gardens to be potentially compensated by removing Government House.

The photography tips for beginners in photography:


1. If you wanna freeze the action, don’t increase your shutter speed. Just ask the players to freeze and not move.

2. You can clean your camera with soap

3. Some part of your finger should appear in the camera. Gives a nice blur and focus

4. You don't need a lens to take good photos

5. Lens cap ON, iso to MAX

6. Time for a deep clean? Be sure to exfoliate your sensor

GAS - gear acquisition syndrome is something Joel and I have suffered for many decades. We are now debating whether we should acquire a digital medium format system again. I guess that is how we socialise by talking about what we gonna spend money next on. 

Australian Open live broadcast is way better this year. After work, I just lie on couch watching it on TV. So not going out much

I come across this on you tube. Love the scenery there!

I am in a lucky position to work 3 days a week. I post daily on blogspot, Instagram, mastodon and X. Thursday is all consumed on moderating a world page on IG. This is really so busy. I think I over did it again. Really need time to do photography more.

Melbourne Lightscape for Sunday Best

 


This is the royal botanic garden. It costs 55 bucks for all time entry. No refund possible. Joel and I came here ready to shoot on Thursday night. This lake in the garden is usually quite boring for me. Not that night.
