The Quartet by taffy

The Quartet

Sitting at the Sydney airport commenting and relaxing and decided to post one more photo before I catch my flight. What an amazing country this is -- wonderful places and even more, wondeful people. Last night's walk with @redpants and @elaine55, Sue and Elaine, was fantastic and I will be working on photos for the next 20 hours of flights! This is from my walk with @silver_fox in Adelaide. At the medical research center that was recently completed. Sometimes referred to as 'the pineapple' or 'cheese grater' which you might be able to tell from the bit on the left top.
I'll be catching up with commenting and posting someday, but anticipate a crazy week or so ahead!
Nice tones and shine. Great composition.

I wonder what these tube/chimneys are for in a medical centre! I'm not even going to think about it - just appreciate the lighting in this great photo!
October 27th, 2014  
Stunning picture.
October 27th, 2014  
I love your perspective here Taffy, its such an interesting shot, Love the lines. patterns and reflections of the trees in the glass, it looks a really interesting building. I would love to visit Adelaide, I have been planning to go for the past 3 years but haven't managed to get there yet but let's hope I can visit Linda @happysnapper65 when she is there next year.

Had a fab evening with you and Sue @repants last night!! Safe flight.

October 28th, 2014  
This looks amazing in b&w! Love the shapes.
October 28th, 2014  
Kind of an "industrial" image, which works so well with your B&W rendering, You have really managed to capture the shape and shine of the structures so well - looking forward to more images of this magnificent structure.
October 28th, 2014  
Have a safe trip back home!! This is a wonderful architectural shot....very powerful in B&W! Cheesegrater, huh!
October 28th, 2014  
This is an awesome shot, Taffy! :) Looking forward to more from your trip once you get settled!

@gigiflower I believe you, Sam, are a bit biased about Australia! Just sayin'!
October 28th, 2014  
Nice composition.Hope yopu having a good flight!
October 28th, 2014  
Fabulous lighting in this. Safe flight home! Glad you had a good trip.

October 28th, 2014  
Very impressive and a fav
October 28th, 2014  
Fantastic shot and love the processing. Fav!
October 28th, 2014  
Love it, especially the composition, reflection of the trees and the shine on the metal structures. It wasn't completed when I was there in January but will definitely go there on my next visit January 2015. This image will be a really hard act to follow but you have inspired me.

@taffy @elaine55 How wonderful that you guys managed a meet up, isn't it amazing how 365 has brought people together.
October 28th, 2014  
That's a great shot Taffy, looks like funnels on a boat.
October 28th, 2014  
Fab shot, love the processing!
October 28th, 2014  
Wonderful leading line, shapes, patterns, fav
October 28th, 2014  
@jo13 It really was special to photograph with Elaine and Sue. A fun 'girls night out' too -- 365 has such wonderful people on it. This shot was taken when I was out with @silver_fox in Adelaide.Another great evening that I've not gotten to post much about as I haven't had time to process much at all. I was going to do a lot on the plane home and ran out of power! But since I have to send my camera in for repair, the next several weeks will likely be mostly Australia images!
October 28th, 2014  
What a wonderful shot Taffy. Fav
October 28th, 2014  
interesting shot, cool pov
October 28th, 2014  
Very imposing and scary, looming architecture. A scene from Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS, revisited.
Very interesting...
October 28th, 2014  
@voiceprintz Sam? Biased? Never....
Taffy a wonderful shot and process. Looking forward to many more from your trip.safe journey home taffy.
October 28th, 2014  
Amazing! How do you make your black and white shots look so fantastic? Fav!

October 28th, 2014  
Great processing,a super capture:-)FAV!!
October 28th, 2014  
I like the way you have processed this, especially your control of reflections and highlights. A great composition with a dominant feature and a lead in that gives it depth.
October 28th, 2014  
Love the processing in this
October 28th, 2014  
This is so cool with the different shapes and textures. What I really love the most is the shadow of the fence and the trees. Such an awesome contrast against the industrial.
October 28th, 2014  
What an amazing shot. You are so great at capturing just the right angles. I love your processing, Taffy. FAV
October 28th, 2014  
So bizarre! Fav!
October 29th, 2014  
Beautiful in b&w. I can see why they call it the cheese grater. :-)
October 29th, 2014  
Great composition! Love the lines, shine, and patterns!
October 29th, 2014  
Remarkable architecture, Taffy! Great perspective and lighting!

October 29th, 2014  
Wow, fantastic!! I love this, the lines, the processing!
October 29th, 2014  
Love the processing - its really dramatic and suits the building. Great image as always.
October 29th, 2014  
Totally sleek look here
October 29th, 2014  
Wonderful pov, it has given drama and impact. Love your processing.
October 29th, 2014  
Magnificent capture and processing. This looks like a gorgeous modern building - and this comes from me who am totally against modern styles.
October 29th, 2014  
Sounds like you've had a wonderful time while visiting Australia. Mission accomplished! You've definitely come away with some amazing pictures, this one included. The post touches make it so slick and shiny! Wishing you safe travels home.
October 29th, 2014  
Great POV and interesting building design! How fun to meet up with friends for a photo shoot! Impressed that you've managed to keep up with posts while traveling. I'm more than a week behind- lots of catching up to do.
October 29th, 2014  
wow, impressive and really love your processing!
October 29th, 2014  
A fav
October 29th, 2014  
This is so striking, love the sheen on the metal. Really need to learn more about b&w processing!
October 29th, 2014  
Wow, looks so futuristic. Your processings are always the best
October 29th, 2014  
Beautiful composition
October 29th, 2014

Such a dramatic POV and processing. Lovely shot. Your title is perfect. :)
October 29th, 2014  
Stunning
October 29th, 2014  
Excellent capture and I love it in B&W. That was so nice you were able to meet up with the other 365ers.
October 29th, 2014  
There is so much to love about this - a completely brilliant photo.FAV
October 29th, 2014  
Fabulous b/w shot
October 29th, 2014  
love it in BW - fav
October 29th, 2014  
@susale Aw...that's such a nice thing to say, Suse! I appreciate it.
@paulaw I use Nik Suite's Silver Efex for almost all b&w processing -- it's not hard to figure out and it's a perfect tool/plug-in for that.
October 30th, 2014  
Hope you had a reasonable flight back. I do this flight every year so I am quite used to it, but it can be a pain in the butt sitting for so long. if 13 hours to the west coast was all we had to do it would be so much more bearable.
October 30th, 2014  
FAV! What a fantastic composition and processing to bring out an artistic image out of architecture. Sure wish I could have gone on the photowalk, too! I miss our interactions while doing photowalks together!
October 30th, 2014  
@frankhymus It is an awfully long flight. And after the flight over the ocean, to have to wait a few hours and then fly almost 4 more...that was definitely a pain! Thanks for the visit!
October 30th, 2014  
Nice choice of subject matter and I like the interesting processing.
October 30th, 2014  
Jo
I forgot to add how much I like the editing in this shot and it works so well in B&W. Hope you are back home safely, rested and settled.
October 30th, 2014  
Great shot- the black and white really brings out the industrial feel, the composition is spot on! You have really been on the go lately!
October 30th, 2014  
Ooh! A Fave straight away.
October 30th, 2014  
Fantastic shot and perspective!
