Pre-sunrise bliss – view large
I think i have fulfilled my 2014 quota for Opera house shots 😉
Taken several minutes before sunrise just before the sprinkling rain set in.
The bright lights are dudes setting up for the Invasion Day Celebrations 26th January – Congratulations to all those who became Aussie citizens on this day, welcome to one of the best countries in the world!
this one rocks +Gerard Blacklock !!
Thanks +Matthias Haeussler
That's an awesome shot +Gerard Blacklock!
Wow, just wow!
+Gerard Blacklock – Whatever Tourism Australia agency is called – they should give you at least a t-shirt and a coffee mug. Sydney was already on my bucket list, but (only because of distance) it was 2-3 places down… since you start posting this pics – it's just after to Barcelona – which is still on the first spot.
Did I mention – GREAT photo! 🙂
What an awesome sunrise lighting up the Opera House and water. Your long exposure makes the whole scene look like a dream land. Gorgeous photo +Gerard Blacklock
the choice of the selective focus and the colors make a good image great.
well done!
(by the way…
I like "Chaos Chaser" lol
I like that a lot)
Beautiful

Awesome composition. Excellent lighting, balance and contrast.
Love the framing that makes this seem so desolate. The sky and water are just perfect!
A classic view beautifully executed +Gerard Blacklock I love that warm light gathered around the opera house.
Great work. shared:
