Photographing Sydney Opera House.

December 6th 2007 09:33
Sydney Opera House
The usual - not bad but not really good.



Everyone who lives in or comes to visit Sydney wants to and does photograph Sydney Opera House.

Here's a selection for you which you can compare with yours.


I've done a lot of this myself and captured some entirely different views.

Some of these use some special effects, others would only be possible in the right circumstances and would need specific skills and equipent.

Hopefully they'll give you some more ideas other than the straight point and shoot. That way everyone gets a photo, but invariably they could be better.

Let's see what you think.

I regret to say there are too many here which do not make it. You need to take a lot of photos of this particular structure to get the right idea.

The biggest mistake is trying to achieve too much with too little.


Sydney Opera House
Sunset - it's pleasant but needs a better camera




Sydney Opera House
From the gardens - OK, that's all but has the right ideas



Sydney Opera House
Trying hard but a long way to go.



Sydney Opera House
Good idea which doesn't make it.



Sydney Opera House
Putting the ferry in is a good idea



Sydney opera House
Speed boat and buildings are good photo does not make it.



Sydney Opera House
The right ideas but doesn't make it.



Sydney Opera House
Good attempt but could be a lot better



Sydney Opera House
Showboat is Great but it's too far away and the camera is not up to it.



Mostly, before these photographers can get off the ground, what you need is a better camera, so if you want really good images spend a lot more on your equipment and learn a lot more about photography and go to every photo exhibition you can and read magazines and books, use your imagination and your brain. That way, with practice and plenty of it you WILL get better.

Good post. The photos all look pretty good to me.

I like the one with the speed boat in it and the sunset one.

Not sure that the brown concrete block (or whatever it is), underneath the sails does anything for the building tho. Always looks a bit tacky. It would look much better a different colour - imo)

Rosemary, perhaps needs a little more discernment from you, but you make a good point about the brown foundations, but we cou'dn't have red, could we, maybe the colour of certain bricks and similar break down would have helped, pale beige and colours similar that accent would have helped, but that it unlikely to change, but you can take different views so that it is not too much of the main feature. Hard then to get the water in, but not impossible.

Getting better photos on the harbour takes a lot of practice.

Great snapshots even though they do leave a little to be desired.
