In anticipation for Vivid 2018.
Kiribilli offers great views at Sydney Harbour and is one of my favourite places to hang out, relax and to take photos. I first noticed the puddle reflection by accident on a walk along the waterfront in December 2017. I took a nice photo of Harbour Bridge and its reflection. Then, a couple of weeks later, already being back in Germany, I reviewed my photos and got the idea to merge several horizontal photos to create a panorama of the whole cityscape including the puddle reflection. With this in mind I came back to this place during my next stay in Sydney in May 2018 - everything was planned and well prepared - but unfortunately there was no puddle due to low tide. At least this was great to try the framing...but for the final photo I had to come back again. A few days later, equipped with a large bucket and a rope, I set up my tripod, filled the puddle and finally took the desired shots. Luckily this was the day before the start of Vivid Sydney - the view was great since the bridge was fully shining. The result is this merge of 5 vertical long exposure shots with my beloved EF 24mm 1.4 prime lens.
