Cockatoo Island main North-South Tunnel
Cockatoo Island is a hertiage listed in the middle of Sydney Harbour and is also the largest Island in the Habour. Since European settlement the island has been used for incarceration of convicts, industrial schooling and ship building. Maritime idustrial activity was ceased in 1992. 10 years later the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and this island was placed into their care. Rehabilitation and restoration of the island is continueing and upon each visit you are sure to note chages.
This was my second visit to the Island and this time the trip was instigated by my wife, as she had never been here. It was a day out with the inlaws with all of us enjoying the photographic delights of this wonderful place. The weather did get the better of us on this day as a afternoon thunderstorm drew the days activity to a close.

Nice HDR Jason. I tried a few shots in the tunnel there with so so results in the tricky light conditions but you’ve nailed it with this one!
Jason Ruth replied
Thanks Leigh. I took a few different combinations before I felt I had the right exposures for the HDR.
Deborah McGrath
Great shot. The HDR really brings out the depth in the colour.
Jason Ruth replied
thank you Deb. You just have to love the colours in the sandstone around Sydney
Jeff Catford
Wow! It’s like being rapidly drawn into a vortex.
Excellent HDR.. The tones are beautifully controlled without going over the top, yet there is that ‘something-other’ feel that HDR can give.
Thank you.
Jason Ruth replied
as always Jeff, you are welcome
