Simply Stunning Sydney

Sydney is a beautiful location for taking stunning photos. I love the contrasts Sydney offers in terms of textures, shapes and colours. No matter where you are; whether it be in the middle of the city or on the golden sandy beaches there a great photography opportunities waiting just around the corner.

Some of the highlights of photography for me in Sydney so far have been the water ways, bushland, night city and coastal sunset shots. Each have offered an experience where I have learnt a little more about photogralhy.

Because Sydney is where I grew up there have been so many opportunities to explore the city in it's entirity. I reccomend starting off taking photos of iconic landmarks in the city such as The Opera House and The Harbour Bridge and experimenting with shapes and lines as they offer many opportunities to enhance these elements of photographic design.

Finding Gold on the Gold Coast

It is hard not to feel like you have struck gold when returning home after a visit from the Gold Coast. I spent just 4 action packed days there and have so many great memories. From the minute I landed at the airport, the fun began. From beaches, to bars and bistros, the night life is buzzing along the esplanade of Surfers Paradise of the Gold Coast. The fun does not end there either. 

Visiting the theme parks was next on the list, and for a measly $79AUS I had access to Sea World, Movie World and Wet'n'Wild. Which of course each brought back golden memories of visiting the Gold Coast as a child. Another at the top of the list was seeing the V8 Super Cars and hiring an electric scooter out to take a trip around the track after the race. To finish it off I went to Tepanyaki at the Marriot Hotel in Surfers which was great quality entertainment and food. 

Of course there is so much more to do there, from helicopters and jetski rides to whale watching and day spas, whatever you do on holidays, the Gold Coast has it on offer. Everything is easily accessed by car, bus, taxi or walking.

Taking photographs on the Gold Coast is easy even for the biggest novice. There are so many good opportunities for the perfect snap it is hard not to capture a tonne of great photos. The best places for a great snap are the beaches and the city. They each capture the lifestyle of the area. Taking photos there taught me alot about light exposure and landscape 

shots.
