By far one of my favorite views of the Sydney skyline is from Cremorne Point in North Sydney. It’s a beautiful spot with such a clear view of the Sydney CBD and one that is definitely worth checking out.
It’s a rare view of the Sydney CBD, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge all in one perfect shot. With a little bit of a high side to get a different view of the Sydney CBD than a lot of other locations that are more of a ground level view.
It is also home to one of Sydney’s best kept secrets, the picturesque MacCallum Pool seen here in a pre Covid world.
I had a great time exploring the different vantage spots from this part of the world and I’d love to go back and photograph the same spot during different times of the day just to see how it all looks. I’ll have to add a sunset shoot to my list here as I’m sure that afternoon sky would light up as only a Sydney sunset can.
For the pictures above I shot with a range on Canon lenses including a wide angle, 70-200ml and for those closer ups were with a Canon 400ml lens.
Using the 3 different lenses here gives you 3 totally different perspective of the same scene. You don’t always have the luxury of being so close to the car so it’s always worth making the most of the opportunity. Sometimes carrying all of your favorite lenses to a shoot can really suck the fun out of a good adventure, but being able to park close to your location is a massive advantage.
Til next time!
