Dave - you are right - the Opera House is a pig to expose fully without blowing highlights through the middle - you have managed to get the tiles nicely while still keeping the 'ends' clearly visible.
Sorry to hear about the reason for the move - heading north?
The memories you have taken and displayed for us are timeless - I hope you still enjoy them for what they are for a long time - it can be such a beautiful city.
Thanks John - yes, I'm heading north. My parents live in Ipswich, QLD. Since I've quit my job, I can no longer financially afford to stay in Sydney. I refuse to share accommodation with people that I do not know, and my current residence is too expensive ($150/week). On unemployment payments, I'm lucky to get a maximum of around $430 or so. After rent, that leaves me $130 per fortnight to pay for food, pay my mastercard monthly bill, pay for transportation costs etc, it's not do-able. Further to that, because I quit the job, Centrelink will almost certainly punish me by removing 18% of my payment for six months (courtesy of the evil Howard, the man is plain evil). The job was damaging to my health, I was underpaid by at least 20k p.a, and I was doing 2 jobs. My Dr. isn't interested in helping me out, the 2 people who are now doing my job and severely struggling won't help me out with written statements, so it's going to be impossible to prove my story to Centrelink. It's nice to know that people will **** you over because they want to save their own skin. Typical human nature and it's just one of the reasons why the human species, as a whole, sickens me to the core.
Dave
