Day 201: It was in the clouds really...

Day 201: ...as night fell at South Bank

There is a food festival on at South Bank at the moment. A 'night noodle market' or somesuch, the emphasis is on Asian street food. As a bit of an aficionado of Asian food, I thought I should bop along...for research purposes you understand, dear reader. 

Since it was late afternoon, I thought it might also be opportune to take the big cam and tripod and experiment with exposures...for ongoing research purposes, you understand, dear reader.

It was comfortably crowded. The food sampled was suitably impressive. It is on for a little while yet, I may have to visit again for those gyoza...one of my favourite Japanese snack foods...for research purposes, you understand, dear reader...teehee...(*^.^*)/

I turned my hand to various shots then in and around South Bank just as the sun was setting and afterwards. You could spend a lot of time doing that.

I took about 50 or 60 shots in the end. All of them very helpful, for research purposes, you understand, dear reader. This one, however, I think is my pièce de résistance...I somehow captured a sunset cloud above the skyline. It really caught my eye. My favourite Brisbane pic to date I think. (Might even be next year's Ekka entry I reckon...)
