Blues Point Reserve was one of the very first place where I visited solely in order to take photos. It locates in McMahons Point, the north side of Sydney, and you can enjoy the great view of of the harbour. I remember walking around the water side taking scenic shots, also going through small bushes taking photos of little things in the park. Nice place to hang around definitely.

The thing really impressed me was this little brass band played and the people getting relaxed and dancing with the music. A couple of years later now, I was going through these photos again, I rediscovered the next few and found them very differently.

The band plays very calm music and the couple dances monotonously, two gentlemen in each photo seem falling in a sleep. When I recall the time and the place back, it feels very strange now. It looks very sweet at first, but something was unatural at the scene and I couldn't and still can't really figure out what it is. Maybe it's just me who is wrong.

All the images were taken with Canon 40D. At the time I was only using JPEG format , no RAW files. Now I really regret that I didn't use the RAW files.

When I took these shots at the time I didn't really have much affection to them, but now I have developed different type of attachment, got not enough tools to polish them up. Probably this set would be a good lesson for me to keep the raw file ALWAYS. You never know how your mind would change later.
