Cockatoo Island Industrial…
by Rodney Campbell on Jan.09, 2012, under Life, Photography
Over the weekend on the spur of the moment we decided to head over to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour where we spent a late afternoon, early evening wandering around until sunset.
Cockatoo Island is a very interesting location with lots of photographic potential. Unlike last time we stayed on the island this time the large industrial buildings were open to the public and I could go in at take the opportunity to shoot some images of the gritty buildings, decaying machinery and rusty beams with the intent to later post precess using HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques.
Also on show on the island were many of the artworks and exhibits from Outpost (a street art festival held on the island in November).
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

Outside the Boring shop – I didn’t think it was uninteresting 🙂

and last up a more detailed view of the outside of one of the buildings up on the top of the island
