About the Image(s)

This image is from a continuing project I have going at the moment, a coffee table book of photos taken in Sydney, titled "Sydney Then and Now". Some photos are from our historic areas showing our older historic buildings and some from the modern parts of the city showing all the hustle and bustle in the concrete and glass of today. Some such as this one, show a mix of both. I like the juxtaposition between the old pub with the new towers in the background. Details are: Nikon D810; 42mm focal length lens; ISO 64; f16; 1/40 and hand held. Minor processing in LR & PS.

Ian, what a terrific project and good choice regarding the image to put into the book. A couple of suggestions - in my VF I cropped in to remove the partial building on the upper left and when I did so it left a sliver of the white fence next to the sidewalk on the lower left. At the same time, I cropped in from the right to remove the partial stairs on the lower right - I kept the 4x6 format which mean cropping a little from both the top and bottom of the frame. I also opened the shadows to bring out a bit more detail in the Hero of Waterloo building and lastly, I added a touch of a vignette - this may sound like a lot but it's really just tweaking. Best of luck with your project.   Posted: 10/06/2025 15:08:02
