Nighttime Cityscape of Sydney, Australia

jpphotography (70) in cityscapephotography • 7 years ago (edited)

I was able to capture this long exposure of Australia's largest city from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Enjoy the view of the illuminated opera house, the port of Sydney and the skyscrapers.
Opened in 1932, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was actually the world's widest long-span bridge until 2012. The bridge has lanes for trains, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. It connects Sydney's CBD with the North Shore. For pedestrians, it is worth considering using one of the many ferries instead; you can see one departing from the piers in the photo.

Camera Gear

The camera I used for these photos is a Sony A37 (APS-C) with a Sony DT 18-135 mm F3,5–5,6 SAM lens.
