Sydneyscape - Bradleys Head

Best viewed large

The foreground shadow is from the rock overhang, the sun was high directly behind it. The dark clouds at the top were from a misplaced Grad ND, but I think it adds a sense of balance. The remainder of the scene was in bright sunshine. There are many yachts in the frame, btw. You just can’t see them anymore given the timelapse.

Fantastic !!!

Awesome

I love the lead in rocks leading into the composition Peter and the green sunlit water is great and its a great skyline too.

brilliant

I think I perfer the B&W image but this is still fantastic!!. the green of the water is amazing. It looks straight out an episode of Doctor Who

I was just wondering if I was weird for thinking that this shot – though I totally agree about the ND grad filter over the top of the sky – has a sense of something ‘weird’ about it…. then I saw the above comment…
I think there will be those who absolutely LOVE this – but I prefer the b&w too :)
LOVE your ‘experimentation Peter! Maybe one day I’ll get a chance to learn how too… what a dream :)))

Splendid Peter!

Another fantastic shot. You seem to be quite the master at ND and Grad ND long exposure work. It makes me want to try things like this, myself!

Wow what an amazing image I love the colors and tones.

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL! FABULOUS!!!!!

That’s some surreal imagery! Fantastic capture!!!

Beautiful shot, Peter.

Great shot, love it.

I noticed above you mentioned to check out Mel Brackstone – I have and I totally agree with you! I’m watching and learning from her big time too :)))

really nice, very different shot of Sydney

Congratulations this work has been featured in the group DSLR Users Only! :)))

Yes really looks good large. I particularly like the colours of the sea. Great a favourite.

wow! this must be the most unique way of photographing Sydney I have ever seen. WOW

Stunning! Congratulations on your feature!

Great work. You have made me look at a view I often look at in a new way.

this is beautiful!

This is so beautiful Peter, I love the colours and look of the water, it is lovely!

Great unprocessed shot mate…wonderful light and smashing blue:)

WOW, breathtaking!!! The depth, lighting, and colors are awesome!!!!!

FABULOUS!!!!!

Stunning shot.

This image is stunning. Great choice of layering filters This image give a great feeling of seperation I like how you got the long exposure with the sky still looking like daylight very cool

Awesome! Masterly done!

great work

Hey Phil, I checked out Mel Brackstone, and I like his work, but I think I like yours better. it’s a little bit more toward the genre I prefer, and I am really impressed by your technique, keep it up!

This is sensational Peter!!
Congratulations on your feature in Dimensions

Awesome capture!

This is a beautiful image Peter! I agree that the darkness of the sky tends to balance the lower shadows – and leads the eye to the delicious colours and city skyline – thanks.

WOW WOW WOW you are a star, yet another great capture, pure art

heaven

Peter, love this one. The colour, the smoothness of the water (due to the timelapse) and the comp. Super job. Well done. An instant fave.

Truly superb Peter!
I admire very much how you use “tools” to enhance your image and, eventhought this shot has an “other worldly” feel to it, you haven´t overdone it in the slightest. I really like the contrast of blur and muted colours in the lower half to the sharp, sunlit and crisp city scene.
And I like your modesty too. Not only do you take the time to reply to comments, you also have no problem mentioning all the work we never get to see. It takes self-confidence to do that and is very encouraging!

BEAUTIFUL work!!!!!

WOW! That is impressive mate…..........it will take a lot now to improove on this performance. You have lifted the bar in my mind…...........well done!

stunning work !

Thats truly awesome…

You have amazing photos! Love them all!

Dead cool. Love that futurist, sort of Jeffrey Smart feel. Awesome work.

a wonder

This is just stunning, a wonderful metropolis

Absolutelly stunning

cool unique shot of sydney !!

Really great work Peter.
Very nice color and composition.
