What an amazing place! The old tram shed in Glebe Sydney have been unused for the last 60 years only to be visited by photographers, the occasional camera crew, party-goers, graffiti artists (yes I do mean artists, there is some exceptional work on display), and the unfortunate people that call it home.
Getting in can be hard, if the front doors aren’t open there is a small window around the back you need to climb through with the help of some milk crates. Ahhhh, nothing like a spot of trespassing to motivate photo taking. The sheds are split into two halls, the main hall houses several stripped down and graffiti covered trams and an old bus. The place is littered with empty spray paint cans, old barrels, tires, broken glass, shoes, and other interesting rubbish. Unfortunately it won’t be there for much longer as it is likely to be turned into the next block of bland apartments.

Thanks for comment Doug.
they look good buddy – awesome work with the Luminosity Masks – the exposure is sweet
Hi Tim, no Luminosity masks here (still haven't figured those out yet) just some curve tweaks and gradient masks.
When I had the opportunity to go over to Sydney for a short vacation and visit some friends, one of my photographer friends brought me to the Glebe Trame Shed and it was amazing to see the graffiti all over the place. Though it is an abandoned place, it has this vibe that you feel like putting up your radio (or iPod) and have a party with all the strobe lights. In fact, when I went back to Gold Coast, I put up a competition for young students to do graffiti on some of my storage sheds and the outcome was fantastic! Now, my storage sheds don’t even look gloomy and glum. It was inspired by Glebe Tram Shed.
