The Sydney Opera House: Looking Beyond the Classic Postcard

Photography of unconventional Sydney Opera House views, featuring perspectives from Kirribilli, Berry's Bay, and harbour fireworks.

The Sydney Opera House is a beautiful building, but it is often seen from only the typical angles - from the side, when you're right in front of it, or when you're on a ferry passing by. This is a selection of some of my favourite, alternative views of the Opera House, photographed over a period of years when visiting the city.

Just a normal street in Kirribilli, the slope and the apartment buildings perfectly frame the Opera House.

Fireworks in Sydney Harbour are a regular feature, and often are accompanied with a spectacular backdrop.

Using the popular burst zoom technique, a standard shot from a typical direction can be made to be more interesting.
