I had the opportunity to visit Sydney again a week or so after my previous visit and this time took photos from Milsons Point, just under the bridge on the Luna Park side.
Luna Park was very colourfully lit up and I was able to get these shots without anyone around, well who would be around at 2am?
Again these are presented in HDR.
I've included links to the full size versions of around 3000 x 2000 pixels so you can scroll around and see the level of detail captured in these as the small web-sized images don't do them justice.
Magnificent - absolutely gorg shots of bridge/Opera House!! Love that area of Sydney - when down there I enjoy a beer at That ? Dwyers restaurant - pricey, but views worth it.
Thanks for your comments everyone, I was quite excited with the way they turned out.

Do you generally feel safe out at 2:00am with all that gear?
Cheers

I only take the camera with a single lens and tripod with me Dennis and a small bag but yes I get nervous walking around at night.
That was the latest I've stayed out down there.
LOL I try and look as mean as possible when walking around but I'm a big softy as you can imagine.
Simply stunning. Don't believe the detail. I've spent about an hour scrolling through the large images, its like looking at an old friend in a new
perspective.
Beautiful images Andrew although I'm also a bit worried about you being out on the town at that late hour.....
Thanks Phil, yeah I won't be doing any late night city shots again for a while, I'm happy with what I've got so far.

Nicely put Geoff, even though there's so many photos of the bridge, it's nice to see it in hi-res with so much detail.

Nah mate no freezer suit, although at times I wish I had my freezer suit on.
LOL I did have my IIS beanie on though.......
Lovely shots. What camera do you have? During the Olympics I went down the harour at night, took a lovely shot from around the Opera House looking back towards Circular Quey, the reflection of the city lights on the water was wonderful. I took the pic with my Canon 500n film camera, one of the best I have done. Also got a great pic of the bridge, once again at night but I didn't have my tripod with me but managed to do a longer exposure shot and managed to hold the camera steady enough to get a great pic. I should scan the negative and post the pics.
much much better than any hdr i have ever done. very cool shots
Thank you David, glad you liked them.
Would love to see some of your HDRs.

Keep up the good work if you dare!

Thank you Paul, I used the Canon 20D for the shots.
I would love to see your shots too Paul, please scan and post them.
I will get around to scaning the pics for you in the next couple of days. I think I have done it already so I just have to find it too, so watch this space and I will get them here as soon as I can.
