The Harbour Bridge - Sydney, Australia


This is an old shot but remains one of my favourite photographs of the Harbour Bridge in Sydney. A long exposure taken from Milson's Point on the north shore. When I set out to take the shot I wanted to include the wharf and try and frame the shot using the trees that grow along the shore. This was one of those rare occasions when everything worked out the way I wanted it to.

Anzac Bridge - Sydney, Australia


We've just got back home after spending a couple of weeks in Sydney. NSW is going through some tough times at the moment with huge bush fires burning across the state. On quite a few days over the last two weeks, the city wasn't visible from this vantage point due to the haze that hung in the air. This photograph was taken in the evening after sunset on a rare clear day.

Skyline - Sydney, Australia


I shot this photograph from one of the pylons on the southern end of the Harbour bridge. Manoeuvring the camera wasnt easy as I had to stick the lens through a small gap between the fence and the pylon wall. The Rocks, the oldest part of Sydney is on the right of the image, the Overseas Passenger Terming is in the centre and Centre Point is visible.

The Opera House - Sydney, Australia


Photographing the Opera House head on and capturing all 3sections isn't straight forward. You are either shooting upwards from the forecourt or you are shooting between the bars of a fence that runs up the stairs leading to the botanical gardens.  I shot this by poking the camera through some of the bars along the walkway. It wasn't easy as i couldn't see through the view finder or the screen due to the angle of the camera. Glad this turned out ok!

The Opera House - Sydney, Australia


Visited the Opera House one evening after a shower of rain, hoping to photograph it without too many tourists walking in and out of my frame. I got lucky as there were only a few around. I setup the tripod in the forecourt very close to the building and managed to shoot this. I thought it was slightly different to the usual shots you see of the Opera House so was quite happy with it.
