These spires are going to be demolished soon. Before they are, I want

the definitive image of them. Any suggestions would be greatly

appreciated.

This was taken at f8. but I also have 3 at f16 and 3 at f29 from the

same location. I know people liked one I shot with leaves on the trees

but it had a lot of noise and I can't really use it in my portfolio.

This one is noise free. If the leaves return before the wrecking crew

comes, I'll take more, if you think the green trees are important.

Please let me know what you think.

Here is the leaved image for comparison.

Like the bare branches much better, as well as darker sky.

Would tighten it from either left or right (but not both) to avoid the centering the object.

Looks good otherwise.

Like this?

I like your second crop better, it is more dramatic.

In either case, very good photo - and a damn shame the spires are getting torn down.

I'm not 100% certain if they'll tear down the stacks, as Sydney seems to keep stacks even when the rest of structures are removed. These particular stacks are part of a Fosters Brewery, which is going to be replaced with housing. Despite what they say in US adds Fosters is not Australian for Beer. In fact I don't know anyone here who drinks the stuff. Still, it's sad to see the old brick buildings go. It's possible the stacks will be kept as I have seen a number of stacks standing alone around the city. One is part of the fence in someone's front yard. I should post a photo of that, it's very odd. Also a silo near me was renovated and made into housing. We'll see. but I am always truck by the modern stacks vs. the old church which I ride by on the bus every week. Starting to get leaves on a couple of the trees now but not the ones on the right of the frame.

The central metal spire has been torn down. It looks like the brick one on the left will remain but the rest of the Foster's plant is being torn down to make way for apartments.

I shot some video of it being torn down with a giant pecking device.

Glad you like the shot. Thanks for the input.
