ventured out at 4am to get the entire harbour only to find out the harbour bridge lights are not on so went back to the Opera House and took some shots, i think these came out much better than my first lot last week.

Took a shot of the International Terminal Building along with a nice boat parked in the harbour.

That first shot is super...the Opera House certainly is a great subject.

thanks everyone.

It is a great time to get up and take shots, BUT it was bloody 28'C at 4am and the humidity up around 80% wow even in shorts and a t-shirt i was still sweating.

its also funny how weather works, , whilst there where clouds in the sky the sun was coming through and i thought brilliant another nice day, i look outside now after my nap :) and its raining, ohh well.

I have to say i love getting up this early though, nobdy around to bother you, you can park anywhere without having to pay or be afraid of getting a parking ticket and not to mention the lovely ladies out jogging at that time of the morning who all seem to LOVE photographers :)

Great work Michael. I havnt really seen to many shots of it at night really. Great colour and the clouds work well. I think about 4am would be the only time in my day that I have free, looks and sounds nice though.
