Am loving some of the shots, am hating the fence. Use the fence to your advantage, get as close as possible and place the camera lens on the fence, zoom in so it removes the wire out of the shot. Or shoot it so that with minimal cropping you can remove and wire in your shot. Shooting with the fence in the way is just lazy, Zac

I am sure I could have climbed the bus, nah, next time I go there I might take a step ladder. That is actually a really good location for tht time of the afternoon
