Sydney by night February 2, 2007
Posted by theoxymoron in Australia, Travel.trackback
At approximately 8:30pm it is getting dark and about that time I started to take some pictures of the harbour, the Sydney Opera House and of course the Harbour Bridge. I wanted views from both sides of the bridge so we went by car to several locations that night.
I used a tripod to eliminate any motion of the camera. The weather was perfect, no winds and almost no clouds. It was a clear warm night to take some nice nightshots.
All pictures were taken in the RAW format and most of the times I used the setting where the camera automatically takes 3 pictures with different exposures. The result is a picture which is underexposed, one which is overexposed and one that is between these two. This is the source material for the DRI (Dynamic Range Increase) method which can be done easily in Photoshop or even better in Photomatix.

Fantastic pictures. I’ve always wanted to visit Sydney, but now I really want to.
