Photographing Sunrise at the Sydney Opera House

How should you photograph sunrise? This is the question I explored in front of the Sydney Opera House, using different compositions and techniques across the water as the brilliant sun lit up the sky.

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Haha you’re not the first to have this issue. I’ve spoken to them and they say they need a screen capture. Can you screen grab what comes up and send it to my email [e-mail]. So sorry for the inconvenience.

surreal...

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Thanks mate. Not had a comment like that before 👍

[@AegirPhotography]

Nice work Ralph. Can't wait for the SOH re-development to be over so that annoying crane isn't there anymore ! Curious to know why you didn't clone it out as I find it a bit distracting to the eye. You got some great colour, it's such a great location down there with so many comps to be shot. :)

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Yeah hood question... I pondered it and in one shot I think I cloned it or an aerial out? Part of my thinking was that the photograph captured a historic and unique moment in time (al photos do) so I opted to leave it. Now you’ve brought it to my attention though I feel I should have deleted it lol I’m coming back in August for Vivid so it was nice to shoot and think if i stuff anything or miss anything I’ll get a second crack 👍

[@paulcookphotography]

This was like fairy porn..."double fairy banger" or "double ferry action" 😂
What incredible views and an amazing sunset. I think you got your money's worth out of this trip for sure! Really enjoyed all the Sydney videos! Hope you are doing well mate. Stay safe!

[@RalphMayhewPhotography]

Hmmm not my intentional at all. Sydney is amazing to photograph. So many options. I feel I only just scratched the surface. I am well man. Hope you are too!
