Princes Pier is Melbourne's "Wanaka Tree". Anyone that has a thriving Instagram account wants to collect this location and display it on their feed. I've been lucky enough to shoot it quite a few times and where it really shines is in a long exposure. Blurring out all the movement in the water really brings out the pattern and details of the pylons. This photo has clocked up nearly 2000 comments and 7000 likes on my Instagram (@kieranstoneau). I am running a competition on there to win a prize worth over $1000 so those numbers are highly inflated compared to my normal but it's still a pretty photo ;)
Will Steemit beat those stats?? I wish...
P.S. I'm not running there competition here too. Not yet anyway.

Snap dude. Digging the split colors between water and sky. Those big sticks in the water make a cool foreground too :)

That is a really cool photo. I can see why it has so many likes. Too bad all those people aren't on here.

I do like the contrast of the old pylons and the smooth water. It's what draws me to photos like this

It's the only use for the coffee. No one drinks it.
I'm going to literally lol when I see you post that picture

Bahahaha! Careful...you're on thin ice...we know what kind of coffee you mean, and it's not okay to hate on it in Canada..

Ha. I am more referring to North American coffee in general rather than a specific Canadian love affair with a certain chain. Does that help if I insult a whole continent rather than a specific country ? There are a few bastions of light but it’s mostly darkeness.

Yes, that's much better! My family sell a gadget that unrolls the rim of Tim Horton's coffee mugs (for their annual contest), so I wasn't going to stand for any negative words about their coffee. ;)

I've never thought of locations as something that could be collected. Instagram sounds like an odd place ;D The posts are really interesting (nice posts lol), I'm mostly captivated by the colours of the sky and the water in this one, biased somewhat as the sky is my favourite colour and the water is a really interesting looking shade that's complementing it nicely.

Haha agreed, sounds strange to hear locations talked about like that!

Places and compositions are definitely collectables. Just look at all the similar shots on Instagram. Including posing like with the "follow me" holding hand POV shot, the freezing boiled water like @intrepidphotos is talking about, the standing somewhere holding your hat pose... Gotta catch 'em all.

If only likes on Instagram were worth something. If they were upvotes it would be around the $70 mark (assuming average of $0.01 per vote)

Mesmerizing picture. Love the way how the clouds make a movement illusion while looking at the picture. Though, I wouldn't want to do that with a hangover... :)

Quite rad, I must say. We don't have anything like this, as I'm about as landlocked as it gets where I am. Kudos on having such great scenery to flex those photographically artistic muscles.
