Deeno thanks mate, as you know, it's always fun to do HDRs and rewarding when they turn out. Cheers.

Glad you liked them too Petra.
I wish I could draw but I can't so it's as close as I'll ever come to drawing.
Thanks for looking.

Jeanette, it really was techocolour as you say.
I've never seen the Opera House like this before.
Unique indeed, it truly is one of the world's modern wonders.

Norm, I hope you get a chance to go and see it once again in better weather before it finishes.
You'll really enjoy the family atmosphere down there.
I took my family down and spent a very pleasant evening walking around and visiting the other sites too including the Sydney Observatory.

Thankyou for showing me what it is like

Looking forward to hearing about the show.

Just back from the "Pure Scenius" improvised concert by Brian Eno at the
Concert Hall at the SOH.

A fabulous performance with some innovative music.

I liked how Eno would scribble notes which he could place on a tele-prompter
to direct the other performers - "Start warm. Become furious".
I liked the lounge room area on stage were performers could take
a coffee break mid-performance.

When we came out of the Concert Hall we were able to see the Luminous Festival
generative projections. Despite the cold and damp conditions and being a Sunday
night, there were thousands around the Opera House and Rocks out to admire them.
Lots of cameras were clicking!

RB thanks for the fabulous follow-up shots!

You'd appreciate a piece of prose by Eno tonight during the concert whilst
they were playing. "I don't care about the artistic intention. I'm just interested
in the effect".

Best Regards

Gary

Just fantastic Andrew.

[RB (Andrew)]

Glad you liked them Ron, Gary and Eric.

Ron it's a pleasure to share, especially with those that can't make it to see the festival in person.
I'm working on another set of images which I took over the weekend, this time it's of the Vivid festival from around The Rocks which was part of Luminous. (Will post soon)

Gary glad you had a fantastic time at the performance and thanks for sharing your experience.
LOL I love the "Start warm. Become furious" and the "I don't care about the artistic intention. I'm just interested in the effect" quotes !

There really was a LOT of photographers down there over the weekend, I found it very difficult to get the shots I wanted this time because of the crowds.

Also there was the "Fire Water" performance which was almost impossible to view unless you got there early, where they had a ship coming out of the water and was set on fire then sunk again.
This was a re-enactment of an incident that happened at The Rocks back in the very early day of settlement.

It would be wonderful if another project like the Opera House were done for Sydney. This building seems to have represented the peak of creativeness for this city and its made the city billions in tourism as a result.

That could be repeated and funded with a lottery like last time. Something creative rather than just a bunch of skyscrapers.

Terrific capture there Andrew.

It puts a new dimension on the opera House.
Great colour and detail.

Well done.
