Sydney
Lens: Tamron 24-135 Camera: Pentax K-3 Photo Location: Sydney 
Posted By: Schraubstock, 05-01-2016, 06:27 AM

Opera House and Bridge both have been photographed many times and one sees over and over the same (almost) pictures which have been taken on the run from Circular Quay or from a tour boat or ferry as it sailed past those landmarks. This time however I tried my best to find a different angle in the hope to present something new. Not sure if I have succeeded. You'll be the judge.

Cheers

Thanks Susan,

Well, if Trump gets in you may want to consider moving to down under. You would feel right at home here.

Cheers

Nice shots..... I use to run the Australia Post stamp program and finding iconic but somewhat different shots was an ongoing challenge.

Well, thanks your opinion is appreciated.
You should see it in full size print, quite stunning even if I say so myself. I have an interest in this picture from a travel agent.

Cheers
