Suspended Trains Photo

Photographer’s Note

Intersecting trains crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. From my POV Looked like the trains were suspended from the sky and resting on a puffy pillow of clouds. Hope thats how it looks in the pic.

Hope you enjoy

Hi Lee, nice point of view. Most shots of the Harbour Bridge are showing the architechture, or using it as a backdrop for something else. Here you are actually showing what it is for. Its a nice change. The composition with the "sky hooks" works well. Its very nicely composed.

Thanks, John

Hi Lee,

Very interesting angle!
In fact, I feel like the trains are suspended from above by the cable :)
Too bad the sky is a little washed out and the overall a little over-exposed (to my taste), it close to perfection :)

Hi Lee!
I really like this strange but very nice composition. The trains really seem to be suspended. Great colours and perspective!

Hi Lee,
Quite a different Harbour Bridge shot indeed. Strong graphical appearance. Trains almost dissappear on the structure. And that's no wonder as the bridge is quite wide too and you unavoidingly have a rather low shooting angle.
I wish those commuter train had more colourful appearance.

Hey,
Very nice shot. Great lines, good composition, and I particularly like that you really get the sense of metal and air.

Hi Lee. Clever composing and cropping to produce quite a capitvating image. Simple but striking optical effect combined with good exposure and sharp detail. Makes a change from a million and one other shots of the bridge! Well done.
Regards,
Andrew
