Sydney By Night A Beautiful Sight

Here are a few night shots of Sydney.

This first one was taken from my room and shows the Novatel Hotel at darling harbor. The slow shutter speed shows the cars as lines of light.

Fireworks at the Sydney Opera House! I took a fair few of these and this is by no means the best. To see those you will have to come back later.

Sydney Opera House A Great Photo Choice

While I was in Sydney I took a whole lot of shots of the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbor Bridge and other touristy type photos. The sole intention was to include them in this and other blogs that I own. It never occurred to me that people wouldn’t be interested because it had been done so many times before because I believe that every photo is different. This is true because there are so many factors involved when taking a photo that make each photo unique. Lets consider some of them.

  1. The photographer alone is an important factor as they may consider different viewpoints and framing etc.
  2. The time of day which may affect lighting etc.
  3. The presence or lack of clouds.
  4. Night shots can also differ a lot depending on the chosen exposure levels

I say this so that up and coming amateur photographers  are not disueded from taking photos of popular subjects just because they think that it has all been done before. I’ve taken so many shots of Sydney that I have decided to give them a category all of their own.

Here is a closeup of one facet of the Opera House.

And here is another from a completely different angle. I particularly like the way the sun reflects of the tiles on the roof.

Welcome To Sydney

It’s been a long time but I’ve finally managed to take the family on a holiday to Sydney. It was a short holiday lasting only five days but the wife and daughter managed to squeeze a whole lot of shopping in. Where possible my son and I, got away when we could and tried to do our own thing. Something that I did manage was taking a whole lot of photos with my point and shoot Panasonic Lumix camera.

This photo is my first view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge as we walked down to Circular Quay via Pitt Street.

As you can see from the same ‘panned out’ view, Sydney has some beautiful old buildings.
