Over the last week or more the light here in and around Sydney has been nothing short of sensational. Both on sunrise and sunset it is really delivering a photographers dream. I have shot what I can with my other commitments, missing some great sunrises as I have been baby sitting my two kids. But I am pretty happy with what I have managed to shoot.
This top shot was taken on a private course on the Central Coast and the bottom one again was taken on a private course from Mrs Macquaries Chair in Sydney.
Both shot on the Fuji GX617 | Velvia 50 with next to no post production other than cleaning the scan and then a contrast adjustment.
Great captures Matt, does look like you had some awesome light over there! I am not too keen on jetty pictures in general so I prefer no. 2, that is a briliant classic Sydneyscape from a great viewpoint.
Nice matt, good to see one of sydney with some foreground in it. How’d you go with those rolls of film, you dropped off?
I’ve been watching a fair few really good sunrises on my way to work… hating life!!! đŸ™‚
I tend to agree with Flemming Bo on the jetty shots, they always offer awesome reflections etc but they don’t lend much to composition.. but hey, that could be considered as a challenge!
Thanks guys. Yea heaps of great light. Even last night (Thursday) the sun dropped and the sky 15 min later popped out blood red.
I saw your shot of Long Jetty Bryce and was jealous. Boy that sky looked awesome.
nice one of Sydney, Matt – I am guessing taken before the Opera House lights were switched on?
Must say I prefer that one to the Long Jetty one, that looks a bit similar to a Kenny-D-plc type of shot.
Must say I am enjoying the blog these days, always a look-see most days, even if I don’t post on every entry.
One day i’ll be on for a one-on-one, will keep saving .
cheers mate
very nice… i wish i had enough money to get a GX617 :(….
I heard from Mick Hruby the light was magic down under and saw some of his latest shots. And he was right, the light was spectacular! i guess wintertime is compensation the colder temperature with these awesome colours. Very nice Matt. Best wishes from Holland, Corne
Mick Hruby is a legend. Both guy and photographer.
The most unknown, undiscovered, underrated photographer going round on the central coast for sure, and i’ll even put him up there in AUS as well!!
Really like the long jetty shot Matt. Beautiful sky and reflection. Well done. We’ve had a couple of cracking sunsets down here too in the past few weeks.
