Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia view map

View of central Melbourne from Eureka Tower public observation deck on 88th floor 285 meters above ground. At the bottom-right corner Princes Bridge over Yarra river. After the bridge - on the left is Flinders Street Station, on the right Federation Square.
Taken at 20:45 soon after sunset. As usual with this kind of places, the biggest problem was all kinds of lights inside the building reflecting on the glass. To avoid reflections I have placed camera at the corner of the window and tried to cover it from inside light with camera backpack.
Camera settings: 17 mm zoom, AV mode, ISO-200, 25 sec exposure, mirror lockup and remote release.
Converted from Raw with color temperature set to 6350K. Corrected barrel distortion.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS
17 mm, ISO-200, 25 sec, f/7.1 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
