I am truly sorry to have left Sydney behind with so much yet to discover but I'll be back faster than most think I will.

It was a truly great trip made better by meeting a few new people along the way, we were so well received it was truly difficult to say goodbye to both the places we went to and the people we met. I will post more pictures probably next week as I have some pictures to deliver to a client.

I'll sneak a few here and there - until then a few more from Sydney, we'll start the ball rolling with a couple captured at Manly beach a place we visited on a friend and his wife's recommendation, a short ferry ride from the docks next to the Opera house.

Manly Beach

We even caught a rainbow (and some rain) while we were there

A park close to the business district

A few of the Opera House, what a great building

My Significant other laughing at me

Me laughing at her (Both the D300, D3, 24-70 and 70-200/VR got drenched on the way back from Manly, some people would have cried, I laughed... It is just stuff, the things that matter was holding a part of the stuff :smile:)

Ooops more of the Opera House

And wild life in the public parks...

Just amazing

There was a gaggle of them surrounding us and nibbling on our shoes

Well, Sydney - I'll see you again real soon!

Awesome pictures. I have got to visit that place some day. I work too hard

Your SO looks like a fun person. Good sense of humor.

Mine does too. She has to have a sense of humor to put up with me.

Love makes the world go round.

Dude, I second Jason's statement. I don't know if you work hard at these pictures or if it just comes natural, but when I see one of your threads come up, I have to click it!

Thank you, a little bit of both, someone once said I was a natural at it but I still think the shots through and then it is all about the post process to make it look like I saw it when I captured the shot.

Rockrolex · 5 May 2008, 02:15 AM

Great pics, Patrick. Thanks for sharing them. Once again they bring back memories of our trip there last year. We loved Manley Beach. And I couldn't take enough pictures of the opera house. I think I have it from every angle except an arial view. The best of that I could get was from the middle of Sydney Harbor bridge.

Again thanks for the memories.

SPACE-DWELLER · 5 May 2008, 05:37 AM
