Bridge Climbers, Sydney

I have spent the last 7 out of 9 days teaching and this is another image taken on one of the days. The top of Sydney Harbour Bridge on sunset as people under take the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.

Hand held shot at F11 for 1/250 sec @ 200mm.

Sydney Icons – Private Photo Workshop

You will need to click on this one to see the detail as it is 1500 pix wide. A 15 image stitch taken from Mrs Macquaries Chair. It was taken on a private course I ran on Monday for a Queensland lady on holiday in Sydney.

The feel the shot can be improved with a better angle as the building in the background that is sticking up under the bridge is distracting. But for the purpose of instructing her on how to shoot panoramics it does the job.

Cropped to a 5:1 ratio and converted to black and white with a cool gray Pantone colour added.

This day ended with a stunning red sunset over the city. Nice end to the day.

Northern Beaches Photography Workshop – Narrabeen Baths and Mona Vale Baths

A few quick snap shots of Narrabeen Baths and Mona Vale Baths taken on my Northern Beaches Day Course held last Saturday. I find shooting during the middle of the day extremely unflattering in terms of light. So to make things a bit interesting we played around with f-stops, shutter speeds and also iso settings to create different shots. Would have loved some cloud in these shots but it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe next time. Both of these shot were taken around 2pm in the afternoon.
