The Sydney Opera House taken on the 3rd of July 2008 Featured in the Syndey Opera House & Harbour Bridge Group on the 13th of October 2009
Do you recognise this world-famous sight? One of the things I enjoy doing is shooting familiar scenes from unfamiliar angles, or in unusual light. If you said this was the Sydney Harbour Bridge, go straight to the top of the class. I composed this frame from Kirribilli Point, because I did not want the bridge itself to be my main subject. Instead, I have allowed my camera to be seduced by the water and the gentle bronze-gold shimmering patterns that play across the dark surface of the rippling water. The lights and the water were my primary subject here, while the world-famous bridge just plays a cameo role. It’s also interesting that I’ve allowed the lights to tell the story of the shapes, both of the wharf in the first place, and of the bridge in the second place. You can’t actually see the bridge, per se. What you do see are the lights that pick out its famous shape. I shot this without a tripod – which is always an interesting challenge. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D with a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F3.5, 1/4 sec, ISO 800, focal length 18mm. Featured in IMAGE WRITING, October 2009.

This image is part of a series that i took at the occasion of the Sydney Harbour Bridge 75th anniversary celebrations in March 2007. / Taken with Pentax K10d, lens at 17mm, f4, ISO200, 3 second exposure. No colour saturation required.
BEST VIEWED LARGER This shot was taken on Friday 7th August in the late afternoon, weather predictions had been for a change to hit the city. This is the result, sunset light mixing with the eerie light of the appraoching storm. The biggest challenge was holding the camera still in the 30-40 knott winds. The vantage point was from the tenth floor of a building and the light was MAGIC ! And yes twin rainbows Equipment : Nikon D300, Handheld, Nikon 18-200mm lens / Technique: 5 bracketted images processed in Photomatix with a slight tidy in Capture NX !http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/framecolor:black/framestyle:flat30/mattecolor:off%20white/product:framed-print/size:large/view:preview/3197763-2-untitled.jpg

This shot is taken from the western side of this iconic building at dusk in June, 2009. The shadowing on the sails come from the winter sun shining through the harbour bridge. Also available in black and white. Shot with Nikon D90 and 18 – 200 lens, hand held.
BETTER VIEWED LARGER Great light , great location! Newport is located on the shores of Pittwater the entrance to the Hawkesbur river. It’s a area I call home , about 30 Kilometres from the Sydney CBD. Its a place of beaches,bays,inlets where you can enjoy boating,swimming, sitting on the shore watching the sun rise and fall. For those experiencing a Northern winter this is a southern summer. Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens, handheld / Technique: HDR 5 Bracketted Images, Photomatix 3.2 64 Bit

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.

What collection of Ozzy photos would be without a picture of the Opera House. This is my take: a high exposure night photo which includes the arc of the sea wall.

The moon rising in Sydney.
My first effort at combining three images in Photomatix You can see one of the originals below
This shot was taken on the jetty at Milsons Point in Sydney, recently. It was dusk and there was heavy cloud over the city. While we waited for a ferry, I explored the pier near Luna Park and my attention was drawn to the graceful arc of the metal links of this chain. One facet of this view that captivated me was that the links have a Surrealist touch, almost as if they are melting. Because of the moody sky, I figured it would be a great opportunity to capture the metallic surface of the links. The depth of field in this shot was very deliberate. While I composed it with the links as the central focus, you’ll notice one of the world’s most famous pieces of architecture in the background, across the harbour. Yes, it’s the Sydney Opera House. Did you notice it immediately? To me, this composition also signifies Australia’s own journey, from convict beginnings (represented by the metal chain) to acknowledged cultural status (represented by the Opera House). I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way – what you see is exactly what I shoot. This was taken with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. I shot it at F5.6, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, with a focal length of 125mm. Featured in DEPTH OF FIELD group, June 2009. Featured in ANYTHING THEATRICAL, August 2009.
