I've been going through some photos from last year, and processing some that I hadn't
previously found the time to go through.
Here's one of my favourite images taken in Sydney last year in October, shot from Bradley's Head,
looking towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
I've cropped the image above (and other images from the same night) in a 2:1 aspect ratio, as it seems to suit these images, rather than having too much sky and water above and below the main subject.
Here's some more images from the same evening, showing the changing colours in the sky as the sun set below the horizon.
An intentional out-of-focus shot, taken with the Canon
50mm f/1.8 lens
stopped down to f/6.3 to get some interesting bokeh
(see here for an in-focus photo taken
from the same location):

Beautiful shots Martin. I really like the last one in particular, nice to see the bridge shot a little different for a change.
