20150204_004383 The Beatle Who Turned Up Late For The Shoot (Wed 04 Feb)

Darling Harbour, Sydney, NSW

Experiments with candids continue, this time down at the construction site and from a longer range, but still using quite an open aperture.

This would not in fact have been my first choice; there were a couple of guys playing handball on the pedestrian bridge leading in to Harbourside which would have been great, but the angle that I had always saw one or the other players obstructed by the walkway columns.

There was also a female traffic controller who had a thayng happening with her hand signals, but out of context I didn't think the shots were all that interesting. So in the end I decided to go for this simple parody of the Abbey Road album cover.

This road is in fact closed due to the reconstruction of the Convention Centre just beyond; only construction vehicles and delivery trucks for the Harbourside Shopping Centre are allowed down it. (This explains the chalky texture of it.)

It certainly make for a good homage to Abbey Road.

Well timed to get him in a good position for the composition. ~V~

An excellent composition. It does remind me of the Beatles. Him walking between the curbs is very effective. V

He is smartly dressed for walking round the docks.
