The Sydney Opera House at 5 in the morning.

I arrived in Australia a few days ago and found adjusting to the time change very difficult. I finally gave up on trying to sleep and decided to go out for a run at about 4:30 in the morning. There were a surprising number of people out working to get the day started. But they were not in my way and I hope I was not in theirs.

Wonderful shot, Aaron!

This is very artistic POV on famous Sydney’s landmark.
I like the mysterious look of the Opera House and reflections here.
Great job done in such challenging lighting conditions.

Well done! Alla.

Well done here, Aaron.
This certainly is a different approach to photographing the Opera House.
It seems that your jetlag served for something!!!
Have a good week,
Andrew.

an amazing view. absolutely great

Hi Aaron
nice shot of the opera house, i like that it isn't that much exposed, the black stting with the partly visible roof suits this building well.

Hi Aaron,
Not a photo you see that often of this world famous building. I really like the darkness in this shot as it reflects the time of night perfectly. The little light that is captured makes the overall scene perfectly including the super reflection on the water. Great POV and exposure.
TFS,
Niek

did you use a tripod for this photo, very well taken. If only the lights on the right hand side of the picture became more clear. Probably trying to focus on too many points. Good job, keep up the good work.

I'm so used to seeing this building in bright colors the twilight sky that this one doesn't quite settle well with me ... just kidding! The colors are pleasing, and the composition works, but I would prefer to see more sharpness on the street lamps.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the opera house at night...very cool. i love the way the light reflects the picture in the water. thanks for the comment on my picture, and the advice about eric, too (:

Hi Aaron.
I do like this shot of the Opera House, well done. Regards John.

Hi Aaron, lucky you to go to Australia! you did well to go out and take some photos! This is a very good one of this place. Did you bring your tripod? Maybe it has a little lack of sharpness.

But I love the forms you captured here and the fg of water and all the lights.

Well done and spotted! Take care, Yan :)

p.s. Many thx for your review on "Orange Glory". It is greatly appreciated.
