Cairns Graffiti PLUS the latest BIG art murals being painted this week in Cairns
Well the week I decide to shoot all the graffiti around Cairns, the local council are having a graffiti SPLURGE with several HUGE instalments being painted this week!
That was lucky!

My last blog said I was going to take out a different lens and play with it for a couple of weeks. The current victim being the 24mm Tilt-Shift. Shooting a subject matter would make things easier to target and " graffiti around town" became it. It just so happened that as part of the finale to the Festival 2018, there's some new ones going up right now, as part of Sea Walls Australia project.
With two spare arvos this week, between jobs and rain, I darted out to grab some with the tilt-shift. Now this is a very arty lens and also can be handy for shooting without distortion.
Keeping it simple, this lens has the ability to tilt, shift, and rotate. So you can pretty much put the focal plane ANYWHERE you want. This is GREAT for targeting certain areas of the scene you want in focus, and blur the rest out!
Here's the monster...
Building next to Badminton Hall, Mulgrave Rd
Green Ant Cantina restaurant. The next few are from here
Notice you can eliminate/reduce the amount of distortion to buildings with this lens. It is very popular with architectural photographers.
The alleyway opposite Gilligans, Grafton St. The next few are from there.
I love this effect, just the centre is focused.
Opposite Cairns Central east side, McLeod St.
Frame espresso Cafe corner McLeod and Upward street
East side of Cairns Central near bus shelter
House next door to Florence St Medical Centre
This one wraps around the corner of the south western boundary of the showgrounds.
I couldn't get the whole thing in without getting run over.
The beginnings of another two, north boundary of showgrounds
Eastern boundary of showgrounds....in progress
Then I quickly darted out to the water tower at Holloways Beach
This is a HUGE project, two guys working on it at once, operating their own machinery to get where they need to be.
This one shows the brilliance of the TS lens eliminating all distortion of this tower, completely vertical.
That was lucky!

This is a manual focus lens. It takes a bit to get used to but can be great fun.
Heres some shots of local graffiti.
Tafe. Southern side. Here the graffiti is in focus but not the bushes next to it as you would expect with a normal lens. It makes it pop more.
Green Ant Cantina restaurant. The next few are from here

Tanks at Botanical Gardens, one to the far east.
