Sydney's Harbor by taffy

Sydney's Harbor

With Osia (@panthora) leading the 'new city' challenge this week focused on Sydney, Australia, I decided to go back through some shots from a year ago when I visited, before I knew how to process in Lightroom. I had posted a shot similar to this back then, but didn't know how to adjust lighting to bring out what it actually looked like when I was there. So, great fun to return to those images. Thanks Osia for the theme focus!
Beautifully shot!

Its pretty cool to go back to older images and process with latest software. When you start using third party actions like Topaz or Nix the possibilities are endless.

I never tire of seeing our stunning Harbour Bridge Taffy and it was lovely to be there with you when you captured this. Great exposure and processing. I must have a quick look at mine and put some on for the theme.

@milaniet Thanks Milanie -- this was my image I posted last October before learning LR. I couldn't reveal any of the reflection I'd seen with my naked eye, rather than what the camera recorded - http://365project.org/taffy/365/2014-10-29

@elaine55 That was one of the most amazing night shoots I've had -- I still think of it so fondly. So much has happened in the year in between, hasn't it?
October 2nd, 2015  
Magic. The coat hanger is always a hit. Great night shot with stunning reflections.
