I saw these reflections and ran for the camera. Sydney Harbour like a mill pond before the many vessels start their morning trips and disturbing it’s surface. The other factor is that look to the water surface that landscape photographers might know it’s like a oily look to the water that lends itself to wonderful reflective surface. It took many shots of Sydney Harbour this morning, if, and you should have seen the sunrise that followed . WAIT ! yes i have photos of that as well.

Iridescent Clouds, Diffraction and Prismatic Colours ~ Atmospheric Optics / Imaged near Tok Alaska in the beautiful Tanana River Valley Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art 06 June 2009 Abstract Digital Art and Writing / Featured Art 03 June 2009 Atmospheric Optics / “Iridescence in clouds most often occurs close to the sun. It is best seen when the sun is hidden. When parts of clouds are thin and have similar size droplets, diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona. In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments. The effect is called cloud iridescence or irisation, terms derived from Iris the Greek personification of the rainbow. The usually delicate colours can be in almost random patches or bands at cloud edges. They are only organised into coronal rings when the droplet size is uniform right across the cloud. The bands and colours change or come and go as the cloud evolves. They occur most often in altocumulus, cirrocumulus and especially in lenticular clouds. Iridescence is seen mostly when part of a cloud is forming because then all the droplets have a similar history and consequently have a similar size. Sometimes iridescence may be seen far from the sun but is most frequently near to it.” Information Source: Atmospheric Optics – Iridescent Clouds Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 13 September 2007 18:12:22 / Tv 1/500 Av 20.0 Exposure Compensation 0 / Curves White Balance Adjustment in Post Processing / ISO 125 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 135.0 mm
This unposed shot of a stranger was taken last Friday. I was shooting the front of Hamer Hall when this lady walked past and sat down in bright springtime sunshine near the front of the theatre entrance. I lined up the shot immediately, so as to preserve her complete anonymity – but there was a special problem. A huge brass pillar in front of the theatre seemed as if it was blending into her hair. In order to work around this problem, I just waited a few seconds. All I needed was one person – on a very busy afternoon – to walk between my subject and Hamer Hall, thus providing some contrast. As you can discern if you look carefully, this man was wearing dark trousers and a white shirt, which not only provided some depth of field, but a contrast of tones as well. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/180, ISO 400, focal length 300mm.

There’s no other part of town that reminds me of New York more than the Times Square area. Funny, when I lived in New York, I never went to Times Square, but as a visitor I spent some time there. Nikon D-80 / 10-14 mm lens at 10 mm / 1/100, f/9 / Textures from CGTextures

This stranger walked past me at Flinders Street Station a few days ago. The colours of his bandana and his T-shirt were too good to resist. Luckily I had my long lens, so I was able to take just a single frame from many metres away – as he and I both moved through the crowd. Curiously enough, even though it was a very busy morning, there is not a single person anywhere else in the frame. And the station lights in the background are a perfect match for his headgear! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F6.7, 1/125 sec, ISO 800, focal length 260mm. 120-1068
