Opera in a dream

Somehow, shooting the Sydney Opera House is not very easy. In the sense, that, it is not very easy to get a unique perspective to it. Probably, the fact that it has been photographed by so many just adds to it.

 

Last week I finally managed to get a shot of it that I am happy with. It happened somewhat by accident. After walking around Circular Quay right up to this point, I decided to sit down and enjoy the crisp cool air and views of the Harbour Bridge. When I turned back around to get up and leave, this composition struck me. The sound of the shutter never felt better.

 

(edit)

Thanks for the overwhelming response to this shot - it has hit #1 on Explore today!

... and become my most viewed and faved shot! :-)

 

See more black on blue.
