Just been going through a few old pics and thought I would share a few of the cliche shots that I have of the city.

Cameron, big fan of 3, it is very difficult to get a fresh take on these icons and you have successfully done that. Four works for me the same as Mozzie, though in a perfect world a fraction sharper may also be nice

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I really like the last one, it was shot with a loan camera (thanks Fujifilm Aust) which I had for the one night before it had to go to another guy in the shop but it was a joy to use. I would really like to have another crack at it with my D300 and faster glass. Who knows I may get a chance yet.

Any volunteers?

Cheers

Number 3 is clearly the stand out in my opinion. As previously stated an original perspective of Sydneys two greatest icons. The lighting seems supurb and the grey in they sky adds a dramatic effect to the whole image. A Job well done.
