  1. Fabulous! I so wanted to go on the bridge when I was in Sydney to get a photo of the Opera House. At that time is was for autos I believe. I might not really enjoy the walk though since I'm not a lover of heights and that looks pretty high. :-) Your night shots are spectacular! Did you have a tri-pod with you? Thanks for sharing.

    1. Do you not normally drink Cappuccinos?

      The Sydney Harbour is still a traffic bridge, this one that opens is a much smaller bridge in Darling Harbour close to lots of eating places. We had to walk over it each day from our accommodation into the city.

      I didn't use a tripod, I was happy with how little blur there was in those photos too. I cranked the ISO up to 1000 and 1600 when it was later, aperture at f/2.8 and shutter speed kept at 1/60.

  4. I'm not a Cappuccino drinker and around here they don't have those pretty little designs on the top. I saw one in CO and photographed it. They are so pretty!

    1. The coffees were the reason I took the photo. I love it when they make a picture with them.
