Most visitors to this fine city point their cameras at the icons including Uproar House, Bridge Centre Point Tower etc
Do that by all means but be a bit different and try a visit to one or more of our shopping arcades that have a lot of character and beauty.

Like;

The Queen Victoria Building

One thing to note is the entry level floor slopes due to York St being higher than George St. Makes it interesting getting your levels right and no tripods allowed (I asked security)

The Strand Arcade

The Sydney Arcade

Image Note Centre Point Tower visible through the roof Image

...but if arcades and architecture dont take your fancy then perhaps Circular Quay at night

either way I'm sure you will enjoy the weekend

Nice shots Ray. You're right about the character and beauty in those old shopping arcades. I love the symmetry and geometrical shapes.

I'm yet to try city night shots, although I can see from your's that it's worth while investigating that area as well.

There really are subjects everywhere you look.

Cheers :)
John

The QV building in Sydney is a heck of a lot nicer than the QV in Melbourne :D Much more atmosphere.
