Sydney Tower Eye Sydney, New South Wales
What a great way to admire the sunset from the tallest building in Sydney! However, scenes that look beautiful to the eye can be a pain in the ass to capture. Firstly the windows of the observatory deck had not been cleaned for months or even years! Dust specks were appearing in the shot, which I had to clone in the post processing. The reflection was also a big problem. Even though I was using a circular polarizer and the camera was tilted such that the lens was parallel to the window, I still had to use my hand to block out some of the bright reflections from hitting the lens.
Oh well, as the phrase goes 'no pain, no gain'. Hope that you enjoy this and upcoming shots from this location. Please view it in detail: www.flickr.com/photos/jcheaphotography/8295647603/sizes/k...
