A followup on this thread.

"Joern Utzon dead

The Danish architect of the iconic Sydney Opera House, Joern Utzon, has died aged 90.

Associated Press has reported that Utzon succumbed to a heart attack, while asleep at home in Denmark on Saturday.

...

Joern Utzon, who created the first designs for Sydney's Opera House in 1957, has never returned to Australia after leaving Sydney in 1966, nearly seven years before his internationally acclaimed building was finished."

Another view of this iconic building. Nikon F6, Nikkor 24-120mm VR lens, Fuji Provia 400X.

I can never get enough of this wonderful city. I think everyone should visit here at least once.

I though I would add another image from the series. This is a close up of one of the lamps surrounding the Opera House. Once again, Nikon F6, Nikkor 24-120mm VR lens, Fuji Provia 400X.

IMO that is what makes it great, and you chose the perfect time to balance the daylight with the artificial light, not easy to do in color.

Now that you mention it, you are right. I've seen very few images of the Opera House taken at anywhere other than the traditional vantage point - called "Mrs Macquaries Chair" BTW.

Here are a couple of images, just out of the scanner to share with everyone.

In the foreground is the Opera House Bar. The first image is naturally the Sydney Opera House itself, the second of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Both images were taken on a Nikon F6, Nikon 24 - 120 mm AF-S VR lens (handheld - VR on) using Fuji Provia 400X (the first time I have used this film). Images taken in September 2007.
