Thank you James.

The bridge was heritage listed, I have no idea why.

I did notice that a number of small towns like to add the word "historical" to their names. A tactic on attracting tourists?

I took this photo for my photography course assignment. I sort of like it myself.

Some of you know that, I love Nespresso coffee.

How did you do it, Antony? What sort of set-up did you use? Great shot, btw.

Thank you James.

It was the effect of depth of field (large aperture).

What I did was carefully aligning all my Nespresso capsules, adjusting the lighting. Aperture F/1.4 was used. (Be aware of domino effect if you are doing this.)

Actually, I'm quite impressed by your photograph. Good work.

Thank you James.

Personally, I quite like this photo (taken a while back).

Or, perhaps I am a Nespresso drinker and I just love Nespresso photos.

I submitted two photos to Australian Centre for Photography for Students Exhibition.

Image

The photos are printed in A2 size. (A2 is 42 x 59.4 cm or 16.5 x 23.4 inches.) Beside the Nespresso photo, the other one is the sepia one on bottom right corner on that wall.

The display is until 7th October, if you are in Sydney, please feel free to drop by.

Oh. Could have made a nice, new futuristic Netscape logo. :D

Interesting name, Nespresso. Is it by Nestle, who offers Nescafe coffee in the U.S.?

Those look similar to the K-Cups (Keurig) sold here.

I believe Nespresso came out with the capsule idea first.
