Waning Gibbous Moon
I have to confess, the moon wasn't really this colour; it was just a standard bright white, with perhaps a slight bluish tint to it. I warmed the colour temperature significantly to make it look like it was rising close to the horizon.
Insulation
I was just finishing up shooting the non-existent sunrise at Kangaroo Point a few weeks ago when I thought I'd just go for a quick walk under the bridges (that cross the Hawkesbury River). Just on the other (west) side of the old (smaller) bridge there was this metallic silver braided insulation cover something important (not to mention a bunch of video camera under the bridge - I made sure I gave them a big smile). I thought it might make an interesting snap; it came out better than I expected.
Oops...I've Been Seen
I was just about to finish up shooting and go back to my desk (at work) to see what I had on my memory card, when this guy sat down on the bench just in front of the bandstand structure on Observatory Hill to take a few shots with his P&S. So, occasional opportunist that I am, I thought I'd fire off a couple final silhouettes of this guy (who I'd never seen before) from about 20 metres away. I'd taken about 5 or 6 shots by the time he looked up from checking his LCD display to see me pointing a big fat lens in his direction. Oh well, I was finishing up anyway. Thanks for being my model, sir...whoever you are.
Harbour Bridge Walkway
The East side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a pedestrian walkway (bikes on the West side). You get magic views of Sydney Harbour from the walkway and it takes about 20-30 minutes to walk from one side to the other (depending on how fast you walk). It's a very popular spot for joggers.
