Big_Bridge_2749_Full_Web - a photo on Flickriver

            This is an image I've been wanting to shoot for ages. Unfortunately the image doesn't quite live up to my desired technical standards as it was shot at ISO6400 on a long lens without stabilisation at 1/25s but none the less, it serves as a marker for what I want to achieve from this or a similar location.

I was driving to the city a few weeks ago and crossed Gladesville Bridge. I noted the excellent view of the city skyline from the top. I turned off once I crossed the bridge and parked the car and walked up to the crest of the bridge. Unfortunately I was not able to shoot from within the bridge fencing as its too constrictive. I put my camera outside the fence and shot this hand held with the camera dangling over the water.

It was a large pano of over 18,000 pixels so when you shrink it down for web viewing, the noise and motion blur are less aparent. I have to say, I think this is the best view I've seen of the continuous city skyline from North Sydney, across the harbour bridge, past the CBD skyline and to the south with Anzac bridge in there for good measure. If you know of a similar but even better view where I might be able to shoot with a tripod, let me know. Otherwise I'm working on some kind of clamp arrangement to put my camera outside the fence and shoot with a degree of safety using long shutter speeds.
