Park Life – (c) 2014 Gerard Blacklock
D7000 with Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 @ 24mm – Aperture: f/8 and Shutter Speed: 1/60 seconds
and apartment living
One thing I do love about the Inner West of Sydney is the number of parks especially given that we all have to live in shoe boxes, well most of us 😉 Parks do feature pretty heavily for most people in the area, whether your a dog lover and taking your ball chasing guard dog for a run or getting some exercise or getting the kids out for while…
Sydney Park is one of my favorite parks, mainly since its such a great example of what councils/governments can do with a refuse site if they put their mind and money to it, its also pretty photogenic, with lots of nice spots for all kinds of stuff, lightpainting, landscape, airport, city views.. etc..
Its hard to believe that this park only come into existent in 1993, checkout these old photos!

I really like the single lone highrise (well medium rise i suppose) apartment block adjacent to the park, it has featured in my pictures before and in this particular case I did set myself up in waiting for the perfect lot of people to walk on thru the frame!

Timed to get the people in the centre frame only 🙂

Thanks +Justine King strangely enough I have only taken pictures close to the brickpits once before, I do always meant to go back there but seem to get sidetracked. I would like to do some long exposures of those chimneys..
Oh wow that is a great idea about the chimney stack! Would like to see that! +Gerard Blacklock They did hold some art exhibitions in the pits a few years ago which would have been fabulous!
