Upper Harbour

The Johnson Street Bridge divides the scenic and tourist oriented lower Inner Harbour pictured so often here from the "working" harbour further up the Gorge, a little of which is pictured here. I may have overdone the HDR processing on this one but I like the way the gritty grungey-ness of the effect adds to the industrial feel. The red brick building across the water is Mermaid Wharf apartments.

There's something really different about your photography! Can you share how you get the soft light effect in the pictures? They all look so stunning!

Hi KC, I suspect you are referring to the effect of HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing, which brightens the shadows and darkens the highlights, ideally to produce more detail. I use a program called Photomatix Pro. If you want to experiment with it you can download a free trial version from their website: http://hdrsoft.com/
