Opera House - Best Viewpoint in entire Sydney

The view from the surroundings of Macquarie Point is literally to die for. You cannot get a better view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in the same image and what better time to photograph than when the night is young.

The best way to get there is to take a walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens enjoying the spring blossoms and the welcome breeze from the harbour. Then slowly make your way to Macquarie's Point in the East. This is certainly one of the best vantage points to capture some breath taking nightscape and not to mention the New Year's eve fireworks too.


Image Exposure: 44 secs at f/20, ISO 200, captured with 50mm prime lense.

Intentional long exposure to create some smooth texture in the water and the reflections alike.

Windermere lake - here we come.

Hi guys, hope you are doing good, I am back to blogging after a small gap, was pretty busy moving my home. Well let me not waste any more time and welcome you back to the journey in Lake district with me.  Continuing from my previous post - after we started from Aira Falls on a road trip to Lake Windermere, I was not quite sure what to expect. The roads were very narrow and it was raining heavily, so trusting my satellite navigation device I was blindly following the route and few minutes into the drive, the road started off on an elevation. It was all normal until I saw distant hills and a narrow road snaking in between them and I knew instantly that this drive is going to be fun. It was a beautiful experience driving through the hills in rain and mist and the mist just got thicker and thicker with elevation. There were times when I could not see beyond 15ft and was blindly following the tail lamps of the car ahead of me, hoping the guy knew where the road was ;) Well, fo

ReWind - Harbour Bridge Walk

Image
An artsy black and white capture of an evening walk on the harbour bridge. You can see the harbour bridge on the right and the city on the left amidst all the fast paced action. Actually quite an exhilirating walk from Milsons Point, I wonder why I did not do this before. Will surely be going again soon.. For this scene, I wanted to get the lowest shutter speed on the nicely lit sunny evening and to my dispair found that I did not even have the polarising filter threaded readily onto my wide angle lens. Some quick thinking and I dialled in the lowest ISO of 100, narrowed down the aperture to f/22 to give me a shutter speed of 1/5 of a second to capture this pre-visualised scene.
