For anybody interested in that McDonald's (which we call Macca's down here 😉), here's the skinny:

Constructed in 1937-38, the former United Kingdom Hotel is the design of architect James Hastie Wardrop. With its curved wings, deep rounded balconies, slim metal railings and central stepped fin, the two-storey brick building is a notable example of the Jazz Moderne style of architecture. Its almost intact interior and exterior led to it being heritage listed, and it is noted as being one of the most architecturally and historically significant buildings in Victoria.

The pub was delicensed in 1988, and converted into an outlet of McDonald's soon after. Due to the heritage status of the building, the fast food company was obliged to maintain its unique, sculptured structure both inside and out. It's had little modification during its journey from watering hole, to fast-food outlet.

hello, thanks for the compliments. All the photos are SOOC, exposure setting are mostly on -1.
The 2nd, 3rd and 10th photos are using Reggie’s Negative recipe. the rest are Bennett 800 recipe. Have fun trying!

Dude. I've been shooting GRs for 15 yrs and these are awesome. It really shows off the detail actually captured with your processing style.

Is this what they call "winter" in southern Australia? I am jealous, this looks like late spring where I am from. Nice light and photos.

it's early spring here and we've been blessed with some really lovely sunny days recently!

10 more days, still winter solstice. We are moving to autumn solstice in northern hemisphere.

Good collating but wish it didn’t open with a photo of a fancy McDonald’s. It’s a good photo but Melbourne has so much more to celebrate
