Its been along time since I have visited the centrepoint tower in Sydney since my last visit prices have doubled and the lifts are still as slow

However it was an interesting experience and i think even with a fisheye lens you would not get it all in from up there

Here are a few images from my visit on the weekend - there was also some interesting light with the approaching rain clouds. If you have the time, I recommend getting up there - even if its only once in your life

(spot the ufo's)





oops, i think i bent the MLC centre

i like these...i'll have to do it some time when down in the smoke

Very nice Biggerry, its alot different to even Google maps isn't it? Didn't know they allowed cameras up there - as with the Harbour Bridge they don't allow loose objects due to the danger of them fallin.

I thought I aw a UFO as well - but I musta been abducted, mind probed and my memory erased (would explain alot)... thankfully all orifices are untouched!

Nice work Biggerry!
I thought you were inside for these shots as if you look carefully in the first shot you can see a reflection of someone's body on the far right. The pics are very clear with a surprisingly low amount of visable air pollution, must have been a windy day? I'd suggest de-fishing that 2nd last last shot, to me it just looks weird, but that could also appeal to some I guess .

Thanks for sharing.

no problems with cameras up there imagine all the tourist who would be pi$$ed if they could not take their happy snaps!

yeah there are a few ufos in the ones I captured

reflection of someone's body on the far right.

I thinks its the reflection of the nearby windows even with the hood on and the polarizer you had to pick your compositions carfeully to aviod/minimise the reflections.

surprisingly low amount of visable air pollution

yeah surprisely clear - i was definitely impressed!

I assume you mean the second last - the one with the MLC building. This distortion is what happens when you try and stitch a few pictures together at 17 mm I really love the sky in that one, so I was trying to save it!

Nice pics Gerry,
It is a view I have seen but no pics to show
I really like the storms you have captured in these.

As always, great work Gerry!

Care to share the number of shots stictched to create these??

ta cam,

1st image was 3 shots, side by side

2nd and 3rd images were 4 shots vertically

and the last one i think was 3 images side by side.

I do have some other super dooper sized ones with 6 images but have not yet got to them!

In 2 and 3 I was mainly trying to replicate what one sees out of a single window.

these are excellent pics
