Brisbane Photos: new Brisbane photos from DeviantART

These are some of my favourites from the recent photos from Brisbane posted on the DeviantART site.

brisbane river by night by ~robbiemoffatt on deviantART

I like this one because it's from a different angle to most of the "Riverside Expressway at Night" shots.

Little One by ~Rizubesu on deviantART

Even cuter!

Garbage Prison by ~CarosKnight on deviantART

A little different. What really happens in a city.

Brisbane Horseracing: Photos from Eagle Farm today

A friend of mine had free tickets to go and see a race meeting at Eagle Farm today, in Ascot. So I took my camera and went to photograph something new.

Brisbane Stickers - Thomas St, West End

Brisbane Stickers - Thomas St, West End, originally uploaded by Brisbane Blog Is Against Censorship.

I'm spending the day in West End after taking photos and videos of the Pride rally and march...These stickers are on the back of a street sign on the corner of Thomas and Vulture Streets, just up from the intersection of Vulture and Boundary Streets, the heart of West End.

Brisbane Photos: The Throbbing Heart of the Metropolis

The Throbbing Heart of the Metropolis, originally uploaded by Ozventure.

This photo by flickr user Ozventure must have been taken from the walk-bridges that you can see in the photo, near the Turbot St end. The photo is looking directly down Creek St, and you can see cars on Ann St.

I really like the sense of movement and action in this photo.

Brisbane Graffiti: Train at Albion

Brisbane Graffiti: Train at Albion, originally uploaded by Brisbane Blog Is Against Censorship.

I was waiting for a train at Albion station today when this carriage pulled up with some artwork on it. So I pulled out my new cameraphone and grabbed a quick shot.

The new phone means I can bring you on-the-spot photos and videos when things are happening around Brisbane.

Brisbane Photos: Seaside Shrooms with Boy on Bike

Seaside Shrooms with Boy on Bike, originally uploaded by Wilson X.

This photo by flickr user WilsonX really caught my eye. It's from the northern bayside suburb of Sandgate.

There are millions of photos on flickr, and far too many of them are merely cute, or use the old cliches of sunsets, flowers, children and so on. It takes quite a different photo to interest me, and this one certainly makes the cut. Hope you like it too.

Brisbane Graffiti: Vedas and Bats

Brisbane Developments: Albion Station and the Defiance Mill

The old flour mill and Albion station, originally uploaded by HelenPalsson.

This photo by flickr user HelenPalsson shows the old Defiance flour mill and wheat silos in the background, next to Albion rail station, in the inner-northern suburbs of Brisbane.

This site is being developed into a new high-density block of apartments, with cafes, shops and offices to be part of the plan. Brisbane blogger Derek Barry at Woolly Days has a detailed report on this sort of development, how it has worked in other parts of the world and what it might mean for Brisbane.

Brisbane Photos: Vulture Street

I have been thinking for a while now about what is the best iconic image of Brisbane. People who live in Brisbane think it is the Story Bridge, but the trouble with that is no-one from outside Brisbane has ever heard of it.

Last Friday, it struck me that everyone who watches Australian cricket has heard of Vulture Street, as it is one of the two ends of the Gabba (the Brisbane Cricket Ground). There is also an album by Aussie band Powderfinger called "Vulture Street".

So I decided that street signs saying "Vulture Street" would be the icon that I wanted to spread.This work is the restult of taking a photo of one of these signs, and then some playing about in Photoshop learning what the different filters do.
