Hey Guys,

Here's my set of Vivid Sydney images, first time at Vivid and woah.. love it ! wish i had more variable lenses.. oh well thats what next year is for!

Theyre extremely low res, I had to get them from my facebook since my friend has my external harddrive atm.. so enjoy!

wow.....i loved every shot but the second would be my favourite. you've come so far lately with all your shots. very very well done.

Dude, these are phenomenal. The light on that statue looks too good.

What processing did you do on the #3? There is an appealing purple tinge. Did you add that?

Wow! 1,3 & 4. Number 2 plays with my
Autism because part of the water touches
one light but not the other, which gives me
the impression your were slightly off centre.
Also, the lights seem a bit blown out. Overall
I like all of them very much.

plays with my Autism

ftw?

Marcus, i swear you were following me Cameron around that night, I have similiar shots at all those places !

First cab off teh rank, those borders really dont rock my world, a photo should be able to stand by itself without being held up by a spanky frame, in this case I feel the frames over power the shots, which are quite nice and would hold on their own. Bear in mind that is merely my opinion though

I do like the pano crop on the second one, very nice, was there much blue light there? I recall they had the whole walkway in Hyde Park lit up in blue lights.

Nice effect on the opera house too

I really like the first two Marcus.
Very well done.

Haha What I initially did was slightly desaturate, duplicate layer, colorize to a desturated brown tinge ( I'll say brown rather than sepia) and change to overlay. then played around with curve adjustments on individual channels.

Thanks for taking your time to look at these yeah.. i was slightly off centre as someone else was centred in and decided to camp there for an hour I tried my best to recover what i could from the lights, but the toning effect is caused by desturating, and increasing the highlight and shadow contrast =D interesting effect..

Hahah I loved that fountain.. I went there like 5 times? haha

The borders were mainly for facebook purposes.. hence why the last opera house was differently bordered.. since most of my photos have that border, i was like.. yeah why not but i understand what you mean by overpowering the image..

There was a chonker full of blue light!!!!! I kinda felt as if it was overly blue.. I don't know.. it felt cheap to me.. so I decided to "marcus-ify" this pano style crop with the color styling.. haha getting creative I guess you could say here. =D

The Opera House.. haha funny that.. all i was trying to do was get a small opera house.. inside a big opera house.. but failed dramatically at the exposure.. but funnily enough, passed the exposure test when i wanted a fanning Opera house =D haha WIN for me! thanks for taking your time Biggerry, much appreciated.
