Tof’Selection #27/ The Sydney Opera House
Tonight, I decided to select the best Flickr photos about the Sydney Opera House. I really love this monument. Even before arriving here in Australia, I have always been amazed by this Sydney symbol. When you discover it, you realise how visionary Jørn Utzon was in the 50′s. The project was selected in 1955. Sometimes, it reminds me some Star Wars aspects.
Actually, I tried many times to take nice photos of the Opera but I realised that was very hard. I mean, you are really dependant on the environment light, even during the night or with fireworks (very common in Sydney). There is no defined moment to succeed the « cliché ». In addition, this monument is so unique and particular. That gives a mysterious side that you can not control.
On this selection, you will realise that the best pictures were taken during sunrises (from the Harbour bridge side especially). I thought it was harder to find good photos taken during sunsets. Maybe because here the sun arrives from the sea to leave on the earth side… (I have always been more impressed with compositions with interactions between the sun/sky and the sea).
