Description Note the glow of lights in the middle of the city... thats England falling in a screaming heap at the SCG in the game of 20/20.
No HDR here just shadows and curves and a bit of tweeking in PS
Told you I'd go back and straighten out that bridge... post it tomorrow.. I liked the left field one tonight

Fantastic!! now that is thinking and looking at it all from a different angle. This is something you don't usally see of Sydney. I love your point of view from under the bay bridge.

It's just a badass skyline shot, period. Technically it's wonderful, well done and I dig how the bridge almost appears to be moving out of the way due to the glow over the city. Great job

I was being nice. I know what you really do - like just sort of walk by these places, kinda shoot from the hip on burst mode and auto ISO, and voila! If was't for that awesome camera, these probably wouldn't look so good...

Of course, you know I'm joking. Your work is really lighting a fire under me to improve a bit.. a lot.. this year thanks!

Actually, Im not sure if I prefer this or 'Sydney Under Bridge.' The glow of the bridge in SUB adds drama.

Lucien23 [2007-01-10 01:56:11 +0000 UTC]

This is my favorite of the bridge shots so far. 'Building a Mystery' & Wedgie are very nice but I prefer the asymmetry of this one. Of course, the colors and the lights of Sydney are amazing.
