Sydney skyline
Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 10 March 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
staying in Sydney, this photo was taken when travelling on a ferry one summer evening... this is the Sydney skyline as seen over the waters of Sydney Harbour just before the sunset...
welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

Splendid, this urban landscape is of course extraordinary, but you carried out your photograph at one ideal moment of the day in order to it transformed into gold. Of the image I like your construction, I have the impression to be with complete freedom above water flying towards the city Bravo ;)

I would make some criticism but I find the image perfect as it is. I look at it and makes me sigh: "I wish I was there".

Nice work here mate. Although I've never taken photos from a water vessel, I would imagine it wouldn't be the easiest assignment in the world of photography. With 1/1000 shutter speed I'm assuming you had more than enough oomph to compensate for 'the wobbles' that one would imagine to be a natural accompaniment to not being on solid ground. Anyhow, I like the pink hues in the sky and the composition. Well done.

This is a wonderful capture from the boat! Great sky - you were able to pull out some wonderful detail with the clouds and the color is fantastic! Good to hear from you and have a great weekend!

Terrific shot, as is the the previous. I tend to cut out too much water, but this one enhances the skyline.

Awesome shot of the city skyline! I like the lighting and how you composed the shot with the water taking up most of the bottom half of the photo.

I can't recall seeing the Sidney skyline from this angle and I'm surprised, A most inviting arc across the sky.
