Harbour Bridge View 1

The Harbour Bridge is iconic for Sydneysiders. The usual image is of a side shot showing the centre span but there are so many possible views other than the tourist one. It can sneak up on you quite unexpectedly.

    Thank you, I like it, too.
    It’s amazing to me, having just started submitting to Redbubble, that 20 minutes after uploading a picture, 3 people have seen it.

    Thanks.

    I just had a look at some of your shots and they’re great. I particularly like the panorama of Mt Buller.

    A great perspective of the bridge. Wonderful shot! Love the b&w work with all of its textures, and the bridge so faint in the centre but background

  • smallfox replied

    Thank you. It is the favourite of others on RB and I’m quite pleased with the result.

    G’day SF,

    I find this very fine B&W photograph to be a refreshing and exciting take on this great Aussie icon.
    The concept, approach, composition and presentation are extremely good and demonstrate your creativity.
    The image has an incredible depth of field, a very sharp focus, very well controlled contrast and highlights and an exceptional tonal range.
    This photograph is head and shoulders above the norm and has a strong impact.
    It holds the interest exceedingly well, it beggars further investigation and it is one to which I shall return for sure!

    Thank you for the best comment I’ve ever had! It was my good fortune to be in the right place at the right time. Being such a large and central object it will always offer new views.

  • Jeff Stroud

    Jeff Stroud

    it is a very interesting view… why did you not focus on the bridge rather than the street?
    even through the eye goes there…

  • smallfox replied

    Well, I can’t put it al down to intention but I think that with the bridge everso slightly out of focus it gives it a potential, something looming. This photo was just another photo to begin with but it’s teaching me a lot, along with my dear bubblers who point things out to me that make me think in ways that I hadn’t before. I think that the bridge seems to be almost composed of light in this way.

  • Jeff Stroud

    Jeff Stroud

    Yes, I see that! Thank you for your reply!

    Beautifully done – this is how it is in Sydney, a pretty normal street – look down the edge and then whammo there she is….

  • smallfox replied

    Thanks. That was how I found this view, just wandering the streets (not as bad as that sounds)

  • Lynn Stratton

    Looks like 2 architectural styles,,,traditional and contemporary,,,on opposite sides of the street,,,with the Bridge linking them. (Don’t mind me Dear,,,I’m an eccentric who looks for symbolism in every day things.) Excellent work.

  • smallfox replied

    You’re quite right although I hadn’t thought of it in that way. This pic is repeatedly throwing out surprises to me, the different ways it can be seen. Thank you!

  • J.K. York

    J.K. York

    i think you zoning of light densities here really has a great impact on how the eye travels through this image. you are correct that iconic structures can be seen in new ways if we only try. very well done. cheers.

  • smallfox replied

    The eye is drawn to the bridge which seems almost ephemeral, it is so light, even misty. I think you’re right about light zones. Thank you J.K.!
