366 Days of 2012, Day 356 - Meet Oliver

Like all urban spaces, Rundle Mall finds ways to make itself unique.

Somewhere near the middle you will find four pigs ignoring the crowds and going about their business. They are however not real but part of a bronze sculpture by Marguerite Derricourt, officially known as 'A Day Out'.
This particular pig's name is Oliver and at a glance you'd swear he was real as he rifles through a very real bin.

To make this image I wanted a very over exposed shot without losing too much depth of field. To achieve this I set a very high ISO so that I could keep a small aperture for good depth of field and a reasonably fast shutter speed for the hand held shot. The result pulls out a very bold version of Oliver from the harsh flat light of full sun midday.
