These are the photos i took during my trip to sydney at july 2008, not so long ago. Sydney is a beautiful city and she deserves to be one of the world’s best tourist destination.
After considering how Yann Arthus Bertrand gave out most of his photographs for free as wallpaper, i’m inspired to do the same. This blog post contain images that should be able to be used at 1024×768 resolution desktop. If you have wide screen, tough luck :p
Lets start.
Pic 1: The world-famous Sydney opera house. When photographing world famous buildings, i often try to think outside the box as the object has been photographed millions of times by millions of people. I shoot this image from one of the train station (i forgot the name) just beside the port while waiting for my train. And i’m quite glad because after i google “sydney opera house” on the image section, it appears that this shoot is unique. 105mm 13s at f8 with borrowed tripod from John. Thanks alot John :p
Pic 2: This is taken during the “Station of the cross” in World Youth Day Sydney. The sunset appears right behind the cross in front of my seat. The cloud formation on the sky could be much better, but truly i can’t complain. This shot is by far, the best sunset shoot i’ve ever taken. And yes, there is someone hanging there on the cross, on cold windy winter night. He is there half naked while we are shivering in our warm jackets. Poor man, but kudos to him for playing Jesus roles. 135mm 1/800s at f7.1
Pic 3: The stairs are part of Sydney opera house with the city of Sydney as the background. People are watching Father Stan Fortuna concert on the far left stage. You can even see him there. I love the atmosphere of the photo. The contrast of the concert in the foreground and the serene city on the background. The colorful lights on the left side is just so pleasing to the eye. 18mm 1/8s at f3.5
From now on i’ll try to post high resolution image for you, but please do not exploit them, sell them and claim them as your own. You are free to use the image, but please link back to my blog. I will post some more of Sydney and Melbourne photos later on the series of “Cityscape Photography” along with the focal length, shutter speed, and aperture of the shoots.
Which one you like the most, and why? discuss.
