Half way point of the year. Can’t believe I’ve kept this up! This weeks photo comes from a photo walk I did at lunchtime on Friday scouting out locations for a future photo shoot (no details yet, don’t want to jinx it!).

Hosier Lane in Melbourne is quite well known for its (legal) street art. This little laneway (Rutledge Lane) comes off the side of Hosier lane, around the back of a single building, then rejoins Hosier Lane. Looks like a fantastic location for a grunge style shoot. I took quite a few other shots of much better street art on my walk, but considering I was just taking the artwork, I couldn’t really call the photo my own.

One thing I really like about this photo, is that the bins are in the way, but have just been painted over. Nothing is really an obstacle. Even the road itself has graffiti on it.

Processing wise, not much apart from the basics really. Being an overcast day, the colours had great contrast, so even the tweaks on levels were minor. A slight vibrance boost (not much though) and some sharpening.
