TLW115pf.jpg

And now (as Mr Cleese used to say) for something completely different. I haven't gone shooting
nightscapes for quite a while and I had forgotten how interesting they can be. I am going to make
time to do a lot more. Here is the view from the top of the Park Hyatt Hotel in downtown Sydney,
looking across the historic "Rocks" area toward Circular Quay. This was handheld at half a second
shutter speed. It is reasonably sharp too. I don't honestly know how. Fluke I guess.

As usual this is best viewed by CLICKING "original" (below) for a 1200 pixel wide image.

I delight in look at the detail in this type of photo. Great image, you must hold some 'Hand held classes'.

Great use of really wide angle lens and an uncommon view of Sydney and its harbour. Love it!
