The old oil tanks at Albany's Whale World, which have been converted into mini movie theatres. Each of the movie theatres has a different short movie about the whaling station.

The Maritime Museum in Fremantle is an interesting building, apparently shaped like an upturned hull which is half on land, and half on water. The museum is located at the site of the first landfall in Western Australia, which occurred in 1829.

This photo was taken during an early morning shoot in Fremantle with some friends and colleagues.
After a disappointing sunrise (too much cloud), we wandered along Victoria Quay for some additional photos, including the one shown above.
Reflections in puddles can add an interesting element to a photo.
For this photo, I had the camera very low, and used the puddle to capture the reflection of the sky, cloud and building.

LiveView can be useful in situations like this, as it allowed me to compose the shot with the camera almost at ground level, without having to lie down on the wet ground in order to be able to look through the viewfinder.
Here is a shot taken in July 2007, during a business-related trip to Sydney. I was in Sydney for two weeks, so I used the weekend to do some exploring.
The colour version wasn't too exciting, but a sepia conversion provided a better result.

This is a view inside Concourse C of the new Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi airport. It's an an interesting design, and appears to consist of sails stretched between sections containing windows.
There wasn't much colour in the original image, and I found the duotone version a little more interesting than the colour version.

When driving somewhere near Busselton, we came across this old shack, and I had to stop and take some photos.

I thought the duotone conversion and some light vignetting added to the old feel of the photo.
