70000th photo (part 2), Sydney Opera House

By on

Yes, you read that correctly … part 2.

I made a mistake.

I wrote previously about “flipping” or resetting the image-number counter on my camera for the 7th time as I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

I was wrong and I’d been too hasty when I began writing. I’d read the image numbers incorrectly, and I’d overlooked the image numbers (67000!).

But it wasn’t long until zeroes were back on the camera display and the actual 70000th exposure was made on the Canon 450D/XSi.

For a few evenings after opening night, I’d visited and photographed various displays at the VIVID Sydney festival of lights around Sydney Cove, Walsh Bay, and Darling Harbour. Midweek is a good time with fewer people around for plenty of space at the best spots to photograph the sights. I chose a Wednesday evening to focus on the Opera House. The photos below form a part of the sequence called “PLAY” by the Spinifex Group who have additional projections at the festival.

      Hi and thanks, Mark. You’re right on both ISO and aperture; the details are the same for both photos: 1/6s, f/2.8, ISO800, with the 50/1.4 prime. Unfortunately, the noise is a killer at ISO1600 on the EOS450D/XSi, even after some massaging from the in-camera software.

      Hi and thanks, Anita. The folks in the Spinifex Group should be thanked for their innovative light projection onto the Opera House; photographic stills capture just a portion of the dynamic display. Please stay tuned for more shots I made at and around the VIVID Sydney festival! 🙂
