Yeap, this is the continuation of the Cityscape Photography 2: Sydney. Its still the photos i took during that visit at july 2008.
Pic 1: Sydney opera house, full of people! i love the motion blurs, gave the photo a dynamic feels. 18mm 0.4s at f3.5
Pic 2: The city of Sydney, from the opera house. I took the shot from the iron fence as seen on the photo to avoid camera shake because i’m not using VR lens. It actually helps to frame the shot, which is good. The only thing prevents this pic to be awesome is the sky. If the sky could just be a little bit more dramatic… 20mm 1/2s at f.38
Pic 3: This is a group of people just warming themself up with candles during the final night vigil at Randwick Race Course. We are waiting for the final mass in the morning with Pope Benedict XVI. 32mm 1/13s at f4.5
Pic 4: Its a magnificent looking candle stand inside a cathedral. I really forgot the cathedral name, but i think its St. Mary cathedral. Lots of people are enchanted by the candlelight and trying to shoot it with their camera… with flash… I think the main attraction of the candle stand is the unique warm light provided only by candle. Flash will burn it out. So, turns out my decision to shoot up close while turning off the flash was a good idea. 18mm 1/20s f3.5
Pic 5: Oh dear God, why would you let my hand shake when i took this shot. It wouldv’e been awesome. But i’m still impressed by the result. The winter tree give a sense of mystery, like its a haunted mansion or something. I dont really know what is this building, i just walk past it during one of the pilgrimage event. 18mm 1/8s at f3.5
Well, thats it for now. I still got some shoot from Sydney, but i guess i’ll leave it for later. Next series of the Cityscape Photography will be Canberra, the capital city of Australia.
