sillouettes from around the world Harbour Bridge - Sydney

Any comments welcome

nice abstract and sense of scale - is this desaturated in PS though?

...that lovely scale.

No PS'ing - I think the darkness on the right was caused by my ill-mannered slidescanner -

I am alway's gathering ideas to get me going and this one has caught my eye. Can you give more details as to when and at which location you shot it from. Not that I want to see hundreds of enthusiasts out there on the weekend trying to get the same shot, just that sometimes you get frustrated when you see something so well executed and want to see if you can pull something like this off yourself.

I think the darkness adds to the mistery of where they are heading.

 

The hardest thing is keeping the lines of the bridge parallel - Its a mismatch of not being too close whereby you develop diverging lines/perspective, and not being too far away so that you need to excessively enlarge the image/invest in a honking great telephoto. I was standing at the end of the Overseas passenger Terminal - where all the cruise-ships moor up - Shot using 300mm/f8 or f11.

this is an amazing shot. really striking. i'd like to see an undarkened version... i never realized you could walk on that bridge, much less that you walk on the top like that. don't you get tired?
