Last weekend, I tramped around beneath the southern approaches to the Harbour Bridge, in an attempt to reproduce the attached 1927 image. I think the photographer had been on the first floor balcony of a terrace behind me to get his elevation. Where I captured the Opera House on Bennelong Point, he captured the Tram Sheds! The icing on the cake for me was the troupe of "Bridge Climbers". |

Interesting to compare yours and the period photo. There's a period photo I'd love to reproduce, but it would require access to a building I can't get into here.
You've chosen very well indeed for the theme!
Great comparison photos. Would be fun to climb the bridge one day.
An interesting comparison, Julie.
Excellent post! I love the comparison photos.
Love the sails under the bridge!
Seeing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is always a joy for me!
Brilliant reproducing of the earlier photo.
Good one, Julie!
i like this a lot...and thank you for the comparison photo!
Oh too fantastic Julie, brilliant comparison, loved the old b&w shot. I was hoping either yourself or Jim would use my favourite bridge, merci beaucoup and hope to catch up this trip, will email you my mobile number..
Wow Julie your photo has everything!
Gorgeous sight, great composition!
Can't have more contrast than that. I love that you got the little opera house between the pillars.
Great contrast! The people looks so tiny!
It is interesting trying to take photographs from the same position as someone else and even more interesting when it when he first one was taken so very long ago.
When I have clicked on the thumbnail-link from citydailyphoto.org, I had not expected to find what I can look now. It is a beautiful views from pillars to opera. Great!
