Sydney Opera House

Still going through my images from my Sydney trip this year .
Went down to the Sydney Opera House a couple of times as it was close to where we were staying in the CBD and The Sydney skyline and Opera House would have to be one of my favourite skylines to photography besides the Perth skyline . Would have to be one of my favourite cities in Australia as well , If i did’nt live in Perth could easly live in either Sydney or the Gold Coast .
The light wasn’t great while I was over there so I tried some long exposures at night time . Did get a lot of people (mainly tourists ) come up to me while I was photographing the Opera House either they were intrigued in why I was panning up or wanted to check out the 5D MKII , also got a lot of comments from teenagers walking past say stuff like the ” bombest camera “ lol
While I was over there probally took about 24 gigs worth of images , The light wasn’t great for the whole trip but still got a few images which I’m saving for the website launch . Did manage to scope out a few locations to return to next time I’m over that side of the country .
This was a 3 image vertical stitch .











mate that is the bombest shot…… ahhahaha ….. but bloody good shot mate im a huge fan!!!
Really nice shot Kirk, unique composition. It works well. Looking forward to the launch of your site.
Clint – thanks mate yeah bombest lol almost as bad as radical when i was a kid
Luke thanks yeah still a few months away but looking foward to it
Real nice shot mate, very good. My only criticism would maybe could crop a small bit of the top and the bottom but thats a minor point and not that important.
Hi Kirk, another stunning shot. Obviously this missed the cut for the website launch , I am looking forward to seeing what made the grade. Beautiful!
wonderful image Kirk ! The very simplistic composition works well in this case.
Beautifull shot Kirke, very tranquil and calming.
I’ve never seen anything like this, the vertical stitch is really unique, I love it. I agree with Tony, I love the simplistic composition. Sometimes less is definitely more
Merv – Thanks would have liked a bit more sky myself with les water mabye next time im over there
Michael – thanks mate
Tony – thanks yeah took a few different angles that night but liked this for the simplistic angle
Dave – thank you
Katie – thanks yeah aggree about the simplistic composition
Yeah I’m with Merv, a bit off the bottom would make it a winner, real good though.
brilliant mate you are cooking em now with the 5D. Well done.
Really very nice Kirk. Love the sky.
Peter – thanks , yeah would have liked a little bit more sky
christian – thanks yeah its great
Neil – thanks
Brilliant Kirk, awesome colour.

love the blue hues.
you’re probably right with wanting a bit more sky… but still must be happy with this
Really good shot mate!
Another great job Kirk.
Good one Kirk, very smooth and clean, has that Kirk look to it – well done!
Opera House is always funny to shoot I reckon, no matter what the light and the weather.
