Caught a range of shots on this Friday morning reached my vantage point about 5.30am. 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.

Equipment: Manfrotto Tripod, Nikon D300 Nikon 18-200mm Lens
Technique: 5 Bracketted Exposures, Photomatix 3.2, Capure NX

Sydney is the capital of the state of New South Wales in Australia

    I like the way you show the different ways of looking at the pictures. The carnival looks like fun. And to me the sweeping city and bridge are at a wonderful contrast with the house rooftops all in a row bottom left.

  • Philip Johnson replied

    thank you the carnival is actually a art deco treasure dating back to the 1930’s called Luna Park its my favourite view i keep revisiting but it changes regularly which keeps me coming back

  • Philip Johnson replied

    i think those house all in a row date to the 1800’s
