Bradfield Park - a photo on Flickriver

Bradfield Park

            I doubt that anybody enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the enormous expanse of Bradfield Park on the north side of Sydney Harbour in the shadow of The Bridge would have spared a thought for the hundreds of homes destroyed and thousands of their occupants displaced eighty years ago, mostly without any compensation, to make way for what was, at the time, the largest civil engineering project in Australia's history.

Whenever I visit this place to shoot, and typically it will be a Sunday afternoon, I marvel at the "foresight" of the engineers to give the Sydney Harbour Bridge its space in the sun, unfettered by the clutter of buildings.

This panorama was created with an Infrared DSLR (a converted Canon EOS 5D Mark II with a 830nm equivalent B&W filter) and a Canon TS-E 24m f3.5L Tilt+Shift lens with Shift engaged for an effective focal length of 14.9mm.
