Last month, I spent a few days in Melbourne on a brief business trip. While in Melbourne, I met up with Alex and Ben for dinner.
I have admired Alex's photography for quite a few years, but for various reasons, haven't been able to meet him in person in either Tasmania or Melbourne prior to this visit. I have been on a few photowalks with Ben in the last few years, both in Perth and in Melbourne. It was great to be able to catch up with them over dinner.

After dinner, Ben and myself headed to the Flinders Street Station, one of Melbourne's cultural icons, completed in 1909. Apparently it was the first railway station in an Australian city.
It's a lovely building, and we spent some time taking long exposure photos of the building from across the street.

Was great to finally meet you Martin! Much enjoyed it.

Really liking that second shot with the people standing at the traffic lights waiting to cross. The B&W looks great.

Stunning shots. The colours and the composition of the top picture are particularly excellent. Beautifully done Martin!
