Very nice range of pics Matt - in particular #2 - the naval ship is riding very high. Matt - the one of Luna Park could you tell me which ferry goes past?

For $13 you can travel all of the ferries for a day. The Luna Park shot was taken from the ferry that goes from the Quey to Darling Harbour via about 6 different stops. very scenic.

Was talking to one of my ex-wifes tonight Matt and she told me I could get a really cheap ticket as I am on a disability pension - so I might give it a go. BTW which or what lens where you using?

All with the non VR 80-200

Gotta say the last one does it for me. All those lovely lines against the sky and the flags give a nice softening contrast.

What a great idea. $13 for an all day shooting session, just take a packed lunch.

Many moons ago, in another life, I used to work for a rather large insurance company whose head office occupied the tallest building in Oz, then placed at Circular Quay.

We would often have staff come in from interstate or Kiwiland, and rather than do the Captain Crunch canned tours, we'd just grab some sandwiches and hop on a Mosman ferry for an hour or so for a lunchtime cruise. Most relaxing, and quite a pleasant way for the visitors to see the harbour at minimal expense.

Nice pics Matt, Must be nice to live somewhere you can go and do things like that. Good way to spend a day for sure and get some nice pics as well and i too like the pic of the tall ship i think with its ropes.

Some great captures there Matt, and what a fabulous idea.......thanks for the tip.

Not at all what I was expecting but uttely wonderfull!!!!

Matt, these are great photos taken with a great lens (its no my wish list)

Great photos! I was taking some shots from the ferry yesterday on the way to work, but just got very lackluster, standard touristy shots. You've inspired me to give it another go and look for the different angles, cheers!

This is correct, he talked to few! and he's alway happy!

Aaaargh!!!

Water! Give me water! I am still waiting for the wet season to arrive, after a false start last week. I wish I could find the time to get to the coast for a couple of weeks.

Cheers

Luverly pics Matt... I especially like the one of the opera house sails from an angle i'v enever seen before.
