More Photos Of Reflections Of Sydney

Although I’ve covered taking photos of reflections in a couple of previous posts, mainly Reflections Of Sydney and Reflections On Glass, A Religious  Photo,  I wanted to paste a few more photos that I took of different buildings whilst in Sydney.

You will notice that when taking these sorts of photos the type of building as well as the subject of the reflection can make all the difference. You should therefore keep that in mind when picking your subjects as well as framing your shots.

This first one, unlike the one in the previous post, has larger darker frames which give the photo a completely different look. Also I panned out a bit in this shot so the reflection included a lot more subject matter in the surroundings.

This next two were of the same building but taken on different days.

I played did a bit of a touch up with this next photo using ACDSee. All it took was a click of the mouse and I think it made a whole lot of difference.

You can get your own Free Trial Download of the ACDSee Pro 3 software. That link will let you trial the software for thirty days which is more than enough time to evaluate it.

Flowers Make For Great Photos

Yeah, I know some of you are going to call me a big girl because I love taking photos of flowers, but what can I say, flowers are really pretty, and can make for some really stunning photos.  The fact that no two flower is really alike means that there is always a huge scope for the amateur photographer to show his stuff.

Roses always make a popular photographic subject. You may pick a pinkish one;

Pink Rose

A red one, whose petals look almost velvety;

Red Rose


Then again, perhaps one with a yellowish tinge to it.

Pale Yellow Rose

Perhaps we should take a shot of a single tulip;

Colorful Flower

Or a bed of tulips;

Flower  Garden


Whatever you choose you can be sure that the lighting you choose can make all the difference;

Red Flower

They can be a delicate simple flower;

Violet Flower

Or and intricate busy one complete with bugs.

Onion Flower

Whatever flower you choose, you can be sure that photo options they can provide is almost endless.

The Sydney Harbor Bridge New And Old

OK, let’s give the Sydney Opera House a bit of a break shall we. What say we show you just a couple of photos I took of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the very bridge that Paul Hogan of Crocodile Dundee used to paint before he got famous. If I remember correctly, by the time they finished painting the structure, it was time to start all over again.

Harbor Bridge

I took this particular photo in black and white and it almost looks as if it was taken many years ago as it gives it an almost antique look.

OK, let’s take a little break from photographing drops as I need to play around a little more with setting up some unique water drop splashing equipment so as to get some really unique shots.

The thing with digital cameras is that it allows you to upload the photos to your computer so that you can do a little editing. This may range from cropping, fixing red eyes to something a little more dramatic like this dragon hovering over my front yard.

Dragon

It was quite simple really, a photo of my favorite pewter dragon, another of the the skyline from my front yard, then you just cut out the dragon and superimpose it over the skyline.

Using A Wet Window As A Photographic Medium

This photo was taken many years ago, before digital cameras existed even, with my trusty Minolta Dynax 7000i. I came across it whilst going through my old slides, something that amazed my kids who never saw a real slide show. :bigsurprise_ee: They were actually expecting a Powerpoint presentation.

Naturally I had to digitize it and this is where my Canon MP810 came in real handy as it scanned the image with great accuracy and then exported it to the PC.

The photo itself just goes to show that photographic opportunities exist almost everywhere, you just have to open your mind to see them.
