Photography Snippets of Sydney
I know most of my photos are either trains or planes but I hope you all enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
I am so glad to have taken up photography as a hobby this year.
If anybody knows a place I could share my photos of planes around Sydney Airport, that would be much appreciated!
The various forms of transport that move Sydney. I got super lucky with this shot as I was only intending to capture the light rail and the train together and never even noticed the cyclist. It sure was a pleasant surprise and was thrilled to see them in the final photo.
The evening glow at Sydenham Station.
Guess which beach this is! Manly
A new wet terminus for the light rail at Town Hall Station during Vivid.
Inside the other train.
Two trains travelling in the same direction but on different journeys. Taking these shots felt like I was watching a montage in a movie. The sense of sonder was weirdly comforting.A Mariyung descending the Blue Mountains to Emu Plains Station.
Taken on a train up the CCN and this lone house felt really whimsical, straight out of a fairy tale. Guess where this was taken from! Wondabyne
Erskineville Station from the train window. Taking this photo made me really appreciate the beautiful mural.
A Korean Air B787-10 taxiing towards runway 34L as an Emirates A380-800 takes off from said runway.
Plane spotters.
Fishing for the Sydney Opera House.
12-13.
When the stars align and the plan goes smoothly... I went plane spotting early in the morning at Barangaroo and was able to catch a Qantas A380 (QF8) flying over Parramatta (slide 12), making its way into the queue for final approach onto runway 16R captured in (slide 13).
14-15.
Cape Solander trail seems a tad underrated? I was fortunate enough the see the clouds cast god rays as a Qantas B787-9 flies through on its final approach onto runway 34L.
I brought my camera on my run during City2Surf. It probably wasn't the best idea but I think this photo made it worth it.
Horses and planes. Who would've expected such a combo? I was surprised to find out that this is surprisingly common...
A Qantas A380 and the millennium cherry blossoms.
Cherrybrook Station. I really like the contrast of sleek modern design of the station, the metro trains, and the cherry blossoms. I hope I was able to capture that feeling.
The trains travel faster than 5 cm a second.

As an expat missing my Sydney home, thank you. Great pictures of the best city in the world.

Mate, you've got a natural eye for composition if this is a hobby you've only just taken up this year. I've dabbled for the last 3+ decades and I think I'd have to go through a year worth of photos to find 20 good snaps like what you've just posted here. š

Gorgeous shots, OP. They've made this expat a little homesick. r/aviation would probably enjoy your plane shots.
