I was in Brisvegas between Wednesday and Friday for the first time and I had a great time. Interesting city!!!!!:)

The weather was great despite the heat and humidity but coped with it well. :)

Here are some photos I managed whilst I was up there.

Great pics, Brisvegas looking almost Singapore level tidy as always:)

Imagine it with Vision, Empire Square and other potential tallies like 480 Queen Street!

Riparian

That balconies shot is mad! Like something from Hong Kong.

Also whats the section at the bottom of Riparian? Is it car parking levels, or a mall, can't imagine it would be apartments with those 'slit' windows.

Fabian
February 5th, 2006, 11:58 AM
Thats the carpark - 11 levels of it if I'm correct

3/379

that shot of Riparian is the best i have ever seen, oh, and (unfortunately) i see it every day!!!

and btw, excellent camera work off a rivercat - your pics are superb!

there fabs, fabs!
yes i concur with your 3/379, Riparian looks great.
this pic shows Aurora is clearly the tallest bldg in the city, and with still 10m of height to go. Vision is anther 50m higher which will look even more impressive.

Your photography is great.

Riparian is one of Australia's best tower - IMHO. One of our top ten and your shot shows us why.

And, although i can't say i like the buildings in it, your shot of the baclonies is a stunner.

25 years ago, Brisbane was little more than a big county town, here it is shining. I'm well impressed.

brisbane has the best glass skyscrapers in the country. where is there a finer cluster of glass-clad office towers?

riparian is also stunning

Fantastic shots Fabian. My favourites are definitely the Riparian shot and this one.

I think it really captures Brisbane and I love the look of the river in the foreground, with the towers rising just behind it, very Singapore.

Hey Brisvegans !!!!!!!!! WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OURSELVES!. It takes a tourist to get better shots of our city than what we do. Great shots fab, especially the admiralty towers balcony shots.

Well, i shouldn't speak for all Brisbanites, but me personally I should get out more and take more shots, I've just had alot of things on at the moment. A few of us do get good shots though, JayT etc.....
Where is Defec8r???? - He takes magical pics !!!
Great shots again Fab..

True - they are some of the best shots I've seen. Its interesting though, things that we take for granted and see everyday we don't think to take photos of - and yet someone who visits notices things we don't right away.

Brisbane has so much photographic potential - if only we/I could see it or see what makes it special.

That balcony shot he took, I sometimes walk past and see that view and think that would be a great shot but never get around to doing it. Although, I think early on when I first joined SSC I took one similar and posted it but I can't really remember.

Although alot of people don't like the admiralty towers area, an impressive thing to see is when you drive on the story bridge at night heading into the valley and look to your left and see those 4 towers with all their lights on - its a sight to see!!

If only Perth had half the building growth that Brisbane has seen. Great photo's of a skyline that's becoming very impressive!

My excuse: trying in vain to save up for brag-worthy photographic hardware and just as broke as ever...:2cents:

Great work Fabian - my favourite photo is the second one, looking under the bridge.
