These seem to be far and few between... by chance I was at the SHB and up that pylon thingy so a I cracked a few panos. CC welcome, all taken with the 17-55 and polariser.

on a side note, did you know 16 people died in the construction of the bridge? :shock:

These are great mate, I like the second one for its unusual view.

These are excellent panos from a place I would hate to be (I suffer from vertigo) :D

On a side note: 50 million+ died in WW2

These are pretty cool Gerry.
Was this on a tour or is this space open to public access?

Thanks for the comments, #2 was a surprise, into the sun and all....

50 million+ died in WW2


61 million they reckon, thats a sh*$load of people....I cannot even fathom that number over such a small time frame :shock: we certianly have it easy now in a lot of respects....

Was this on a tour or is this space open to public access?


Public access, $4 for kids 8-12 and $13.50(i think) for adults, it is only on the southern pylon, but you do get to have look at a video and a little museum and spend more money in the gift shop :)

That said, i recommend it, I have lived in sydney for quite a few years and thats the first time I have crossed the bridge on foot (plenty of times on pushbike and car). Plus its much cheaper than those bridge climb numbers :shock: :cheers:

what lens did you use?


17-55mm f2.8 w/ polariser @ 17mm and typically f8 - 9.5

Geez, that's one beautiful city!


yeah there is worse :lol: 8)

again, thanks for the comments....

Congratulations on picture of the week!

Great pictures! How do you get up the south pylon? Is this the Bridge climb?

You may have to watch the polariser as it does change the blues quite a bit esp in the middle...

Many have given up their lunch money to cross the damn thing on a daily basis. Hell there may be a few people starving because of this. :shock:
