BEST VIEWED LARGER
This shot taken from MIlsons Point directly under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the lights and skyline of the city on the opposite shore. Taken around midnight the waters of Sydney are lit with colours of the rainbow.
For visitors to Sydney , you can walk across to Milsons point, or catch train trip to Milson’s Point station.
This shot was taken with no filters with a Nikon D300 and Nikon 18-200mm lens securely mounted on a Manfrotto Tripod, using three bracketed exposures which were then processed using Photomatix HDR Software.
My continuing journey into HDR
