Short Shoot in Melbourne
Last week I visited Melbourne for a day trip. I left my home at 5am, worked all day, then flew out at 8pm, arriving back at my home at 11:30pm. I knew I would have a couple of hours before my flight home so I took my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 with my 17mm (35mm equivalent)…

After the sun had set, I left that location and decided to try another spot that my friend at work had suggested – Milson’s Point. On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…
