We've seen this picture of yours of it here before, I believe? It's good to see it again.
I guess i take it a little more for granted than you guys but you are right it is a very impressive building and where it is located (Bennelong Point) makes it all the more impressive. Did either of you get to look inside : Prieni wrote:

It is. Much, much more impressive, and interesting, up close than I could ever have imagined from the photos I'd seen beforehand, or indeed, sadly, from the ones I took.Yet another view (it really is a terrific building):

Its just as good.
I like your shot Prieni. I would have liked to have seen it all in shadow as the detail in the shadowed area looks quite good.
Has it been cropped : and what lens did you use :

Here is mine cropped too 100%. I was going to leave a bit of the sky as you have done but decided against it

Just a touch of sharpening to enhance the grout between the tiles.
That detail is terrific. It's crying out to be printed large enough to show it.Here is mine cropped too 100%. I was going to leave a bit of the sky as you have done but decided against it

Thanks Gwyn you are right and i could'nt remember his name so thanks for that too Clarky wrote:
By the way the guy who designed the OH was a dutchman who won an international design competition back in the early 70s. He never stuck around to see its completion because the egg heads paying the bills kept trying to cut corners and change his design. He ended up pulling the pin and walking out. He never came back to see it completed. His son came over a couple of years ago to accept an award on his behalf.

I think the first one is an excellent abstract, and as such you could be even bolder, and darken it slightly more so that the detail at the very bottom is less visible.
It's a tribute to the designers that the SOH works so well with so many different interpretations.
If that's the whole frame though, it's a little disappointing not to be able to see the finer detail between the main zig-zags.
Is it there, or is there just a slight lack of sharpness for some reason? I might be expecting too much, though. Looking at mine, the ones where I could resolve that detail were taken a bit closer than that.*
I like the ship too. The sepia treatment isn't unreasonable, but I'd like to see the colour version as well.
*Edit: actually on reflection I think I'm just expecting too much. I'm not sure many monitors would be able to resolve detail that fine. If I resize my only photo where I captured it, the detail disappears.
Chris i can still go in another 70% on that opera house shot if thats what you mean : Just show me where you want it cropped and i will take a chop out of the raw file.

Here's the boat pic as it was taken. It was a little hazy along the coast last Sunday as you can see. Thats the main reason i went for the sepia effect

Clarky - # 1 is a excellent shot - probably cropped a bit - very nicely!!
# 2 & 3 - Good shots - but I think you need to do something about the horizon - I now figure why the ship cruises that way (it's downhill)
No its not cropped thats how i took it Clarky - # 1 is a excellent shot - probably cropped a bit - very nicely!!
# 2 & 3 - Good shots - but I think you need to do something about the horizon - I now figure why the ship cruises that way (it's downhill)
And the downhill ship is now cruising straight. I did notice it after i posted but was too lazy to correct it thanks

Let me have a look at home. I might have a spare in my "rummage" bin.
