Opera House It was a nice way to start the Australian Day. For this photo I’ve used a big Stopper filter, allowing the sky to rush by the Opera House. via 500px bit.ly/1iCy00y
I was surprised how the verdigris on the bronze ribs under the shells of the Opera House had turned a very bright green.
Champagne, cheese, french bread, just a corner of the table, a moment from our posh picnic with friends at Glyndebourne Opera house. Under cover on the upper circle on a wet, misty afternoon, with the brickwork and rooftop of the original country house in the background. Yes, it's that time of year again, already, for an October Glyndebourne weekend.
Actually it has to be called 'sparkling wine', as it's English, from the vineyards at Tenterden, Kent. But the cheese was French :)
The tour of this amazing building was a highlight of our short time in Vienna, Austria. The Vienna State Opera House was built between 1861 and 1869. It was damaged by bombing in WWII but was restored to its former glory after the war. The main auditorium seats 1,709. The many other rooms in the building are all beautiful. This is the fresco on the ceiling in the entry hall titled "The Recognition" by the Viennese painter Franz Dobyaschofsky
Chinese opera (Chinese: 戏曲/戲曲; Pinyin: xìqǔ) is a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back as far as the third century CE. There are numerous regional branches of Chinese opera, of which the Beijing opera (Jingju) is one of the most notable.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zürich Opera House has been the home of the Zürich Opera since 1891, and also houses the Bernhard-Theater Zürich and the Zürich Ballet.
Built to replace the Aktientheater which burnt down in 1890, it was originally known the Stadttheater Zürich, a description that appears on the building’s lintel. It was built by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer, who changed their previous design for a theatre in Wiesbaden only slightly. It was built in only 16 months and was opened in 1891, and was the first opera house in Europe to have electrical lighting.
It was the city's main performance space for drama, opera, and musical events until 1925, when it was renamed Opernhaus Zürich and a separate theatre for plays was built
By the 1970s, the opera house was badly in need of major renovations; when some considered it not worth restoring, a new theatre was proposed for the site. However, between 1982 and 1984, rebuilding took place but not without huge local opposition. In response to the combination of high subsidies for opera and the lack of cultural programs for youth, large protests were held in May 1980. The protests became known as the Opernhauskrawalle youth protests or in the local dialect “Züri brännt”, which means “Zurich is burning”, as documented in the 1981 Swiss documentary film of the same name.
The rebuilt theatre was inaugurated with Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and the world première of Rudolf Kelterborn’s Chekhov opera Der Kirschgarten.
As restored, the theatre is an ornate building with a neo-classical façade of white and grey stone adorned with busts of Weber, Wagner, and Mozart. Additionally, busts of Schiller, Shakespeare, and Goethe are to be found.

This is the Sydney Opera House about 45 minutes before dawn. It was almost dark, however I've post processed the image in CS6 to show how those huge glass panes add a modern cathedral look to the Opera House - I'd love to see it become a house of worship, and I think it would make it a perfect temple to worship the Supreme Being.
Exposure was about a minute at ISO 100 F22. I used a Hahnel Giga T Pro to interface with my camera. Something wrong with this device (hope it's just a battery).
Bear in mind that the shot was taken in near darkness from a distance of maybe 500 metres. This shot is about 10% of the original image area and has had almost no sharpening applied.
I think that's an astonishing result.
With respect to the Tokina 16-28 - I had wanted a Nikon 16-35 but the Tokina cost me $550 - less than half the price. I love the thing. As you can see from the crop, it's very sharp. I also think it has the "star Trek factor." It's such a nice piece of gear to hold in the hand. Heavy, precise and gorgeous, like the Nikon 24-70. I've noticed Sigma are making lenses with the Star Trek factor now, especially the 35 and 50 F1.4 art series. Nikon needs to address this. Nikon lenses for consumers are pretty mundane and the pro ones are prohibitively expensive.
