Saturday Night Gleber Photo

Photographer’s Note

ENGLISH: This is Anzac Bridge taken from Glebe Point. Glebe is an inner suburb of Sydney and has foreshores on Sydney Harbour. In between the 2 pylons of the Anzac Bridge you can also see Sydney Harbour Bridge in the far background. To the right of the frame is Centrepoint Tower which has a remarkable observation deck and rotating restaurant. Glebe Point is a great place to go for a walk, have a picnic or just sit and relax. It is about 10 minutes from the heart of the Sydney Central Business District and can be accessed by bus, car or boat.

My 2 Workshops show close-ups of the Western Pylon. You can see Sydney Habour Bridge behind it.

Hello Lisa,
A great capture of this magnificent bridge at the blue hour'. I like the point of view and, especially, those cool blue tones and the reflections of the lights. Exposure is perfectly managed as always with your photos. Superb sharpness. Talking about bridges, I forgot to ask you whether you had an invite to the breakfast that was held on the Harbour Bridge recently.

ktanska (16530) 2009-11-09 4:03

Hi Lisa,
Blue tones are quite intense on this one. It's a remarkable modern bridge. And no doubt helped traffic a lot when opened. Long exposure gives water special texture. And now 'Blue Velvet' plays inside my head...

Hello Lisa,
Quelle vue fantastique !!!
Les rails de lumière dans l'eau sont magnifiques. Un point de vue parfait, ce pont offre une perspective très intéressante. Tu as vraiment un sacré coup d'oeil pour ces prises de vue nocturnes avec des couleurs féeriques. Il faut continuer ! encore bravo .

Hi Lisa,
Good POV but I can't help the feeling I've seen this one BEFORE

You Westies are all the same. :)))

Love ya
Pete

Hello Lisa,

I went back with nice blue hours photo of this bridge. The exposure was very well tuned.
Regarding the composition I find the foreground a bit too empty on this view. It is why I prefer the second WS focused on western pilar.

Hi Lisa,
Splendid capture with a blue mood.
The bridge looks marvelous with its
lights and the zebra like reflection.
The illuminated base gives charming effect.
Have anice week.

Dashab (871) 2009-11-09 12:03

Didn't someone say she is all "blue-houred" out these days?
This is a great one, Lisa! I especially like the striped effect of the lights on the velvety water, and of course the wonderful blue tones. A good POV and composition, showing the bridge in all its beauty.
Have a great week! Hugs, Dasha

williewhistler (97) 2009-11-09 12:10

MLINES (10870) 2009-11-09 13:04

Hi Lisa, Very fine POV to show this bridge's architecture well. The blue tones are very appealing. Inclusion of the tall tower an asset to this image. I like the way the bridge seems so long in this format. TFS. Murray.

mozzy27 (267) 2009-11-09 14:13

Hi Lisa
You certainly love these blue hour shots and this one is awesome too, I particularly like the contrast between the blue of the water and the pink of the reflections of the lights. Great POV and a well balanced image.

Ciao Lisa,mi sembrava di vedere il ponte di Aswan in Egitto,sembra la copia perfetta..grandissima foto con il solito effetto seta dell'acqua che oggi e' ancora piu' bella,grandissima prospettiva e angolazione.Bravissima!! Buon Martedi',Luciano

avene (10944) 2009-11-09 20:10

hi Lisa,
love this shot, the dreamy blue is just right for the bridge that looks like some giant musical instrument, harp may be. the streaks in the water add nice accent, fantastic moody shot.

best,
Kristine

Ciao Lisa,
a peaceful and calmly scene from the Anzac bridge,taken the most beautiful hour of the day,the blue hour.I like the posing of water as the reflections on it.The light og the city complete the whole scene.

Regards,danos

skippy007 (6971) 2009-11-10 1:21

Ciao Cara, Fantastic, again beautiful colours, detail & magical silky smooth water. You have become an expert at this long exposure business, all three are really beautiful. I think Mr Ward fancies himself at the long exposure business or he wishes, I can imagine both of you standing on the a corner in Kings Cross, without a tripod, what a picture that would make. HaHaHa.
I must stop, laughing so much I can't see.
Ciaooooo
Santo

ifege (1737) 2009-11-10 2:31

A superb photo Lisa. I know the spot where this was taken from and I think it makes a better night shot than day shot. The reflection stripes really add to it.
cheers
Ian

diomed (3859) 2009-11-11 2:26

Ciao Lisa,
questa prospettiva è veramente fantastica: i lampioni che scrivono linee regolari di luce sull'acqua, un azzuro leggero che si riflette in un azzurro più profondo. Grande gestione della luce. Bravissima!
Un caro saluto
Antonio

Waylim (10741) 2009-11-11 18:03

Hi Lisa,
Did I tell you how great your photographs are since you first know you. You have come a long way, Girlfriend! love the rich blue tone here, so rich and thick you can almost scoop it up with a spoon :) Whatever I mean, I don't know. The exposure time give this image that rich color and smooth texture in the water, I love how the lights relected in the bay with bans of light gold. My only minor suggestion maybe to not have the horizon so much in the center deviding the image in half. I tend to think a little more water in this case if the sky has more interesting cloud than more of the sky. great shot regardless. See you in two weeks and two days.
Way

josepmarin (33785) 2009-11-12 12:12

Hello Lisa,
This one is a fantastic capture at the blue hour, with a great graphical result.
I like the nice effect of the bridge lights reflected in the surface of the water, which has an attractive silky texture because of a long exposure time and an excellent technical management.
This is a beautiful composition, very well executed.
Best wishes,
Josep

sacavem (8231) 2009-11-13 3:07

Olá Lisa,

The perspective is very good, and the bluish colors look very nice, good shot!

Yep, yep, yep.
One dang hell of a shot there lady.
You have presented a superb photograph and sold some great icons of Sydney Town to our TE friends.
Nice work,
Regards,
GM

alftrek (2783) 2009-11-16 20:31

Hello Lisa,
Almost exactly the same POV as Mr Wall's post, but when it comes to night shot, you thrashed him easily. Hope he is not upset to read this.

Regards
Alfred

Juzo (353) 2009-11-17 7:26

Hi Lisa,
I love the symmetry in this image and the blue is so rich, yet not overwhelming. Great sharpness for an evening pic..the relfective lights on the water are a nice touch. Such a clean image - great work! I remember this area well in Sydney.
Regards
Justin
