Scenes from a Bike - Edition 29 - Carlton on a Sunday Afternoon

Welcome to The 29th edition of the series - Scenes from a bike

This Edition facts:

Location: Carlton, again a short ride from home, it's in the inner North of Melbourne, Australia, it is near Melbourne Uni.

Date & Weather: Sunday the 10th of November 2024- It sunny but really not all that hot it's like 20 degrees Celsius at best.

Equipment: My Fujifilm X-T5, mated with the much under used 16mm F2.4 prime Fujinon lens. I like taking just a single prime with me, it makes me think more. Although I should note that the XT-5 does allow a 1.4X and 2.0 X teleconverter, so I sort of have a 16mm a 22mm and 32mm. I also only used a 3:2 aspect ratio because again - think about your composition.

The Concept & Finances: The concept is simple, I've bought an electric bike, on this bike I explore my hometown, Melbourne Australia and take photos, Priority 1 - Finding new places in Melbourne, Priority 2 - taking better photos, Bonus - Earn back the cost of the bike by creating content and getting paid for it on HIVE. The bike cost $1,100 USD. So far I've earned $162.32 from the previous 28 paid out posts meaning I've paid for just almost 15% of the bike. This is going to take some time, but this is all bonus money, the joy is in the taking of photos.

Other stuff: This trip was spontaneous it was a nice day and I wanted to go somewhere, so pretty much exactly what this is meant to be.

So let's see the 6 shots I got on the trip that I'm happy with - warning moody blue skies and dramatic shadows ahead.

The Pipes at the back of a building, all stainless steel and whatnot

The space between two buildings or urban fabric as I think the developers call it

You don't really get circular buildings in Melbourne, all that inefficiency, but circle's exist in nature, just ask the clouds.

Brown is not my favourite colour

Coffee makes this town tick

And finally, the Sail
