Melbourne Street Candid #257 Melbourne South Bank at night

 

The night in South Bank Melbourne can be very chilled. Gelato there is not very good. But good enough for a snap.

Over the next few weeks, I would not have a reliable access to WiFi due to travel. All the posts here will be scheduled in advance. I thank you for all the support since I started this street candid blog. I will visit your blogs whenever I have a chance.

Nike fan for sure. I am testing out ultra-wide angle lens for street photography. It is too hard to use and too many distracting details are included in the frame unnecessarily.

Melbourne Candid Series #250 Pafu Shop, Box Hill

 

This puff shop sells nice deserts, a franchise from Japan. However, one can get sugar poisoning from single puff from this store. It is so sweet and sugary not to my taste.
