For my preferred style of shooting, the Queen Victoria Building is an absolute delight to use as a photo location. Other than dodging people (as movement does not translate well in my HDR’s), the setting was outstanding with rich colors and ornate architecture. I especially like the large suspended clocks that can be viewed from [...]
