Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House · 07:36 PM

I took this dawn shot of the Sydney Opera House using my K10D and using a DA 18-55 lens. It was taken before the sun rose, but when light was starting to appear. The exposure was 1 second @ f4.50, manual exposure and 100 ISO. Focal length was 44mm.

Comments welcomed.

There are lots of shots of this famous building out there but this would be comfortable right in there with any of the best. Great use of the light. Go one for having the energy to get up early enough to get this shot. Well taken!

Beautiful picture. Glad to see that you've resisted the urge to HDR it.

One of the better photos I've seen taken of the House. Well done, Darius

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

PeterAM...I would have HDR-ed it - but sadly, I have no idea what HDR means *blush*.
