I found myself in the Nth Sydney area at lunchtime today with 30 minutes to kill so off I went to Milsons Point. I'm happy with the composition as I think I got the bridge at an little photographed angle. I like the way it just seems to go to nowhere. I could have cloned out the buildings in the bottom left corner, but that would have been too fake.

I'm a bit bummed that the angle of the sun made the whole thing a bit flat (and that was with a cpl fitted). I tried to magic wand the sky a bit bluer, but with so much wispy cloud it looked terrible.

I'm a real PP novice, so any tips on how to give it a bit more "oomph" would be really appreciated

John, great take on a well photographed (to say the least) subject

I like the composition & the sky is fine for me - I'd leave it as is.

The image does not require any further PP. It is technically fine!

Nice image, which bridge is this? :-)

Maybe just a little tad of contrast adjustment might bring it up a little, but nice angle anyway, Max

A very little seen angle - well done

Funny you should mention that Birdy. About 5 minutes later when I'd gone over to the Luna Park side of the bridge, one of those security guys with the yellow vests that anyone who has gone over,under or near the bridge must of seen, walked by my and all he had to say was "nice camera" :lol:

I was very careful not to point the lens in the direction of Nth Sydney Olympic pool. :roll:

Don't you know? your car number plate has been recorded and photo was taken from distance with the 200-400VR :lol:

Just as an addendum. Ya just gotta love digital :!:

I took 67 photos in 20 minutes, including all the regular tourist/postcard angles, but even though many of the others are prettier, they were just boring,boring, seen it all before...........

Not a problem, just chuck the other 66 away, they cost me nothing. If I'd taken 67 photos with Velvia and only found one that took my fancy..... well you see my point, digital pays for itself :shock:
