Ventured in to Sydney last weekend to catch a couple of Organ Recitals (yes, thats right) and feeling a little inspired from recent Omaroo and Octane outings, the D200 is set for black and whites and thrown over the shoulder.

Time restraints had me rushing about so, I never spent the time I had intended to playing with the camera.

Feel free to comment as I'm at a bit loss on processing these.

1. Fountain in Hyde Park

2. Church in Elizabeth St. Nine bracketed shots tone blended.

3.Pitt St United Church 1846. The first recital I went to featuring organist Robert Goode. Vocalist, Fiona Maconaghie and Verna Lee on the Harp.
Really entertaining with compositions from Rimsky-Korsakov, Henry Purcell, Brahms, Australian composer Graeme Rawson, a few traditional Scottish Songs and even Honeysuckle Rose by Fats Waller.

4. The 1910 Hill & Son pipe organ. Little sister to the Town Hall organ.
One of the best examples of this unmolested pneumatic action organ in Australia

5&6. A couple of old shots of St Mary's Cathedral I'd taken a couple of years ago. The venue for the second recital I attended. A more traditional recital featuring Robert Fox on the 1981 Canadian built Letourneau organ which is also connected to the 1942 Australian built
Whitehouse Bros. organ in the rear gallery.
The acoustics in this building are phenomenal. An indulgence of the sences.....

Thanx Deeno
