you said it Matt - endless inspiration.
I like your shots, especially the first one - great lighting. I'd prefer the third one without the train - I find it distracting (I sound like Frank Castanza!)

Sound more like Frank. Enstien.
Thanks for taking the time. Gotta admit I personally like the train....but that's just taste.

Matt,
Number 1 for me! The overbearing massiveness (is that a word?) of the bridge in the background completes this great shot. At first you are attracted to the waterfront buildings, but then can't help but look to the "thing" in the background. It's kind of spooky.

#2 Matt - the curves and verticals form a very nice visualisation

G'day,
The sky in #2 seems to almost jump out of the pic, but #1's my fav, as Marcus mentioned, something about the metalwork of the bridge standing over the buildings gives it a strange feel...

Hmmm..yeah the train. The second one is my favourite too for the same reasons Chris mentioned.

Great images, Matt.
I really like #2 - to me it looks like it has come straight out of National Geographic.

Opera House forecourt, just great composition.

Hi Matt, am an Amateur, can you please let me know what settings (approx) you used on the camera and the lens you used.
The photos are awesome.

Anubis, if you look at Matt's photos at the bottom is a link called exif data, click on that and it will give you those details. You can also download a program called Iexif from
http://www.opanda.com it gives exif info on any photo where the exif data hasn't been removed. Very handy.
Problem I have found it doesn't tell me when to press the shutter for Matt's beautiful composition

#2 for me...
I like the way the curves of the walkways interact with the verticality of the buildings...
Off to sydney this weekend and am looking forward to getting down there and having a play!

Matt
The first one seems a little dark on my monitor, but it's still a very good shot for the reasons posted by others already, but my pick is the second. I think it's an interesting composition with a quite unusual visual angle and I love the curves and lines in it (but them I'm into that
). The third one doesn't grab me, but it's not the train - I think it's a little too much a standard bridge shot, albeit by an excellent photographer.

Can you let me know who that photographer is? I'd like to get some tips from him.

Third one lacks the oomph of the first two. The first two are magnificent. Lovely images, and 2 really is straight out of NG. Wonderfully composed.
