Luna Park Sydney is an historic theme park on Sydney's spectacular Sydney Harbour, frequented for generations just for fun. On this day, I had gone there to take some street photography photos as you can usually find some interesting characters there. This clown caught my attention - she has such a lovely, happy smile, so I asked her if I could take her photo while she spun her hula hoop. Of course, she said 'Yes'.

I never tire of this magnificent view. Rhodes just comes to life around sunset and the way the sun hits the building at sunset is just magnificent, making them appear to be made of gold. This photograph was taken right on sunset when the blue light was at its best, but the last hues of golden light were still visible on the buildings. If you are lucky, this lasts for a couple of minutes. on this evening, it lasted about 30 seconds before it was gone.

This day I dedicated to taking some street photographs and one of my favourite places to go to watch people is the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. I found an installation I was intrigued with and placed myself as inconspicuously as possible, in the corner, watching people and waiting for something interesting to happen. I waited patiently for a while - maybe 1/2 an hour but nothing was happening. While waiting, I decided on a different approach and, not wanting to take a boring photo, decided to take a photo where the art installation was in focus but the people walking past were blurred. I set up my camera to take the shot I envisioned. I noticed this couple walking around, not really paying attention to the art and decided that if they walked past this artwork, I would take the photo. After some time, they walked past the art installation and as I had predicted, they didn't stop to contemplate the artwork, but walked straight past it. That's when I took the shot. It came out exactly as I had envisioned.
