Sydney Opera House

Posted by Ryan (Brisbane, Australia) on 10 January 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

A whirlwind tour of Sydney on a weekend presented some great opportunities for photography. I had to use the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a tripod as I was on my way back to the hotel after dinner & didn't have my tripod. The woes of life ;)

DEFINATELY A GREAT PICTURE! Nonetheless, your use of the bridge as a tripod proved to be a very good alternative. This is definitely a favorite for me.

@ManuelaR: Hi Manuela. I had noticed a car coming down the hill just before taking the shot. I was tempted to wait for it to drive off before taking the shot as I thought it may draw attention away from the Opera house. Fortunately I took a chance and it paid off. Thanks for stopping by & commenting.

@gene: thanks Gene. I have only been in Aus for just over years, and loving it. Particularly Brisbane. There are some great photo opportunities here if one gets the opportunity to travel a bit. Thanks for stopping by
