The Sydney Ferry from Darling Harbour-Milson’s Point-Circular Quay departs the point. Luna Park greets us with its garish grin. The ferry parts, blowing smokey air at our bewildered selves.

Taken on a clear night in Summer 2006 from Milsons Point.
Waiting and waiting and waiting and got bored. So, I put my time to some use and capture this image.
/ . / The Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of Australia’s most well known and photographed landmarks. It is the world’s largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour. Fondly known by the locals as the ‘Coathanger’, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was officially open on 19th March 1932. I shot this on an overcast night, hence the purplish sky. Assuming 100 photos were taken each day since the bridge was opened, I calculate that this would be image number 2,781,943 Some interesting facts about the Bridge Length of arch span 503 metres / Height of top of arch 134 metres above mean sea level / Height to top of aircraft beacon 141 metres above mean sea level / Width of deck 49 metres / Clearance for shipping 49 metres / Height of pylons 89 metres above mean sea level / Base of each abutment tower 68 metres across and 48 metres long (two pylons rest on each abutment tower) / Total length of bridge 1149 metres including approach spans / Bearing pins Each of the four pins measures 4.2 metres long and 368 millimetres in diameter / Thrust on bearings Under maximum load approximately 20,000 tonnes on each bearing / Number of rivets Approximately 6,000,000 / Largest rivet Weighed 3.5 kilograms and was 395 millimetres long / Longest hanger 58.8 metres / Shortest hanger 7.3 metres / Total weight of steelwork 52,800 tonnes including arch and mild steel approach spans / Weight of arch 39,000 tonnes / Rock excavated for foundations 122,000 cubic metres / Concrete used for bridge 95,000 cubic metres / Granite facing used on pylons and piers 17,000 cubic metres / Allowance for deck expansion 420 millimetres / Allowance for arch expansion The arch may rise or fall 18 centimetres due to heating or cooling / Number of panels in arch 28, each 18.28 metres wide / Record tonnage erected 589 tonnes of steelwork was erected on the arch in one day on 26 November 1929 / Paint required 272,000 litres of paint were required to give the Bridge its initial three coats Facts and figures from: Mackaness, C.

FOR BETTER VIEWING GO LARGER Milsons Point is the northern entrance to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, on Sydney Harbours North Shore. Nestled beside the bridge pylon is the Luna Park Amusement Park which dates back to the 1930’s both the bridge and park are great examples of Art Deco influence. This image was taken from McMahons Point Wharf and shows day breaking over the point. Equipment used: Nikon D300 & Sigma 10-20mm lens / Technique:HDR , 5 Bracketted Images processed in Photomatix Pro
View through the fence from Milsons Point side of the harbour.
MUCH BETTER VIEWED LARGER This shot was taken from McMahons Point on the North shore of Sydney Harbour it shows the full moon rising over Milsons Point with the approach to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The lights of Luna Park Amusement park can be seen nestled on the shoreline, the park dates back to the 1930’s , and so does the bridge !

This shot was taken on the jetty at Milsons Point in Sydney, recently. It was dusk and there was heavy cloud over the city. While we waited for a ferry, I explored the pier near Luna Park and my attention was drawn to the graceful arc of the metal links of this chain. One facet of this view that captivated me was that the links have a Surrealist touch, almost as if they are melting. Because of the moody sky, I figured it would be a great opportunity to capture the metallic surface of the links. The depth of field in this shot was very deliberate. While I composed it with the links as the central focus, you’ll notice one of the world’s most famous pieces of architecture in the background, across the harbour. Yes, it’s the Sydney Opera House. Did you notice it immediately? To me, this composition also signifies Australia’s own journey, from convict beginnings (represented by the metal chain) to acknowledged cultural status (represented by the Opera House). I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way – what you see is exactly what I shoot. This was taken with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. I shot it at F5.6, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, with a focal length of 125mm. Featured in DEPTH OF FIELD group, June 2009. Featured in ANYTHING THEATRICAL, August 2009.

Looking back from the Harbour Bridge and along the ramp. Milson’s Point.
You’ll never see larger artificial eyelashes than these. This is the giant face that forms the façade of Sydney’s Luna Park, the famous tourist attraction at Milsons Point, on the opposite side of the harbour from the Opera House. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/90 sec, ISO 200, focal length 78mm.
