Southbank Bougainvillea Walk

The lovely bougainvillea arches at Southbank Parklands, Brisbane. This is on the site where World Expo 88 was held & later converted to a place for families to enjoy. The light & shadows were difficult.

From the archives, a couple of shots I saved from deletion by daring to use PS

Wonderful arches and beautiful light!

Sheila		07-Oct-2005 02:07
What a fantastic archway, it's fabulous! Gosh I wonder how they train the bougainvillia along. That would be a prickly job.

jypsee		07-Oct-2005 02:01

Karen Leaf		07-Oct-2005 01:45

Gosh, that's a really flash archway and looks very spectacular with the beautiful colours of the bouganvillea in flower! The shadow play on the ground is great too. Beautiful photo Laine!

Spectacular place and the image is belter, when light is that difficult I resort to auto exp bracketing. By the way ,voted.

Jeffery Stahlman		06-Oct-2005 20:49

Sheena Woodhead		06-Oct-2005 20:15
This is a beautiful place and a beautiful shot. I love the shadow detail.

What a wonderful place!

Johnny JAG		06-Oct-2005 19:35
I like it too.

Buz Kiefer		06-Oct-2005 19:21
Three very nice shots. The main one works very well. I like the elements in the composition: the arches covered in flowers, their pattern repeated in shadow and the people moving through it all.

shatterbug		06-Oct-2005 18:18
Great shot! Love the perspective and repeating arches. Great job with the light.

Robin Reid		06-Oct-2005 17:59
I'll bet the lighting was tough... you did well with it. What a lovely spot. I am sorry I didn't get to Brisbane in March.
