Every day many thousands of people cross Princess Bridge, the picturesque gateway to the heart of Melbourne. Standing atop Princess Bridge at dusk there is a brilliant view west along the river towards the setting sun. Pass the bridge at this time and there are usually many people taking the same cliché snaps of the familiar view.
Getting close to the water level amplifies reflections and can provide a nice balance across the centre of an image, however high above the bridge this isn’t an option. I set out to look back at Princess Bridge from as close to water level as I could get. This image is at the end of the blue hour, with reflections of streetlights dancing across the water.
