Not easy to shoot such a landmark. Your pov is classic, but the light you captured is truly amazing. One of the best Opera House photo's here on TE...great work..!!!

G'Day Radim,
The best Opera House shot of its kind I am yet to see. How can anyone not like this stunning building? Beautiful light, delicate textures, and very particular water. The classical frame is a work of it's own. The sharpness is flawless. Good work, great results, this one will be a hit!

I agree with Matthew, the best opera house I've seen so far. U made it even better than it actually is. It looks like it's golden, I like the calm background, beautiful and soft tones and shadows. Impressive really.

C'est certes un point de vue extremement connu mais votre photo est tout de meme parfaite... Autant dans la maitrise de la lumiere et des couleurs qu'au point de vue netteté... Donc felicitations...

A beauty Radim, I suspect this wil be a high scorer, and rightly so.

The metalic colour of the opera house in the rising sunlight is awesomeWonderful graduated, clear sky

i know i'm lame, but i have really big problems getting up for sunrises, so i really admire people who can do it (;

Hi Radim
Another stunning shot of the Opera House. You're setting the standard very high here. Hopefully we'll have nice weather during our quick 48 hour visit in August. The way the sails are lit is very pretty and I like the effect of the sea thanks to the 8 seconds.
Regards
Nikki

robsz (741) 2007-05-19 11:28

The colors are just amazing in this. And so sharp, I love how you can see the detail in the tiles on the opera. Getting up early was well worth it. Perfect shot.

beautifull, colors, time and....place :)

Propofol (1786) 2007-05-26 21:22

Fantastic - looks better than my dusk shot of the OH. I wish now I'd been bothered getting up early to catch the sort of opportunity you have. Very well done!

sharkattack (268) 2007-06-07 2:42

Top quality image Radim....well done

jwmunro (6279) 2007-08-04 8:11

Hello Radim -

The great Sydney icon! You have done a marvelous job of capturing this icon in some of the best light. I would give you 10 points if I could just for getting so early to capture this image. The glow of the sunrise has been captured to perfection and the highlighting of the Opera House just adds and complements the sunrise. Well done!

Thank you for sharing.

John

Another superb shot Radim;

I think you've found the best possible way to shoot the Opera House. The similarly toned sky helps to make the shadows stand out nicely, really conveying the shapes well. Might be worthwhile attempting a similar shot just after sunset from the other side of the Opera House which would also allow you views of the Harbour Bridge as well...?

Nice One!
