080225_061411_0782 Photo of a Photographer (Mon 25 Feb 08)

Overseas Passenger Terminal Circular Quay, Sydney Australia

A passenger on the QE2 takes advantage of the dawn to shoot an image of the Opera House.

(Yes, I know you can barely see him. Yes, it IS much clearer in the original. No, unfortunately I couldn't increase his size and still get even remotely interesting framing. Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't have added this one to the gallery. Too late now!)

Edit September 2023: Yes, I know you don't have a problem spotting him NOW (unless you're looking at this on a mobile device)... but this was first loaded on PBase where the allegedly "large" and default size was a (by then) absurdly small 800 pixels across. When I was going through my galleries "de-PBasing" them, I took the opportunity to spit the thing back out at a more appropriate size.

On PBase there is/was a comment about how good it is that the person was lost in the size of the ship... which is less the case now, but he's still pretty small considering.

I think it's terrific -- shows how easy it is for a person to get absorbed in the 'bigness' of a ship like that!
