Fire Sky, Sydney City Sunset Panoramic

For those looking at this shot thinking you missed a sunset like this recently you can relax as this is a shot taken back in 2008 on the good old 1ds Mk II. It has just taken me this long to come back to the images for yet another attempt to get a balance of colours and contrast that I was happy with and a few days ago it finally happened. I had almost put it in the “Cant be bothered anymore” folder.

I find quite often all crazy sunsets like this you usually have to endure a day of rain and overcast conditions and this day was no exception. It was only the last 10 minutes before the sunset that you saw what was about to happen and this crazy colour started and finished in a matter 5 minutes. A real case of being at the right place at the right time.

Panoramic stitch of 12 images | 24-70mm lens | approx 180 degree view.

Classic Views, Sydney, NSW

A classic view from one of Sydney’s many lookouts that are scattered around the city and its waterways. Taken in the late afternoon on one of my Sydney photographic courses.

Single image processed in Camera RAW and then in CS4. No filters.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

I put this stitch together the other day looking through some old images as I archive them correctly and this one really lent itself to being styled like this. The high cloud in the background makes this shot a success and if I was to re process the image I would hit the recovery slider in RAW a bit harder to pull more in detail on the right low clouds.

On this day this the bridge was flying the Australian flag and also the Aboriginal flag. usually the NSW state flag fly’s with the Australian flag.

9 image stitch run through PtGui as I find photomerge in Photoshop struggles with aligning the bridge structure correctly.

Another glimpse of Sydney’s world renound icon.

Image was taken by me on one of my Sydney City day courses showing students the techniques and process of capturing digital panoramics.

The development and processing of this image is now included on all of my course resource DVD’s as a high resolution video tutorial.
