A Night at the Opera by Adam Gormley

A Night at the Opera by

Recently re-visited Sydney, and thought I would re-take this shot using my new 5D and 16mm lens. I was happy that tonight there was a party on at the Opera House, so the colours were amazing. Some light fast moving cloud, and a helicopter add to the drama of this shot.

This is a long exposure HDR run, using bulb so there was no breaks in the exposure blending. This is my first bulb HDR. The reason I decided to use bulb, is to get the stretch in the clouds. I also wanted to capture the helicopter flying around the area.

Sydney Opera House, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Canon 5D Mk II, 16mm, 16:9 crop. Available large and definately best viewed large!

    Superb work Adam. Its good to see that they brighten the place up a bit with lights because those cream tiles are really boring.
    Great photography and well worth all the effort.

  • Thanks so much Bob mate! :)
