This gallery is a wonderful tribute to a great city. We visited Sydney for only three days lust spring along with some other Australian cities, I only wish we had more time there. ~V~

It's not the camera, lenses, filters or picturesque Sydney, but the God-gifted eyes that actually composed these pictures ...... I envy. I was in Sydney during July-August, 2008 and can understand the dramatic impact of each of these photographs. Keep sharing , please...
David Simson 06-Sep-2008 14:50
Sheila,

Having lived in Sydney (but not, alas, at present) your images capture vividly for me the beauty and drama of this stunning city. Your composition and eye for detail is truly outstanding. Please, please, please don't stop taking photographs..!!
Michael Tauber 11-Jul-2008 10:22

Andrew S. Cheung 24-Nov-2007 02:34
Superb gallery of Sydney!!! You really make me want to go back to Aus again, just can't let go myself keep scrolling and browsing through your great pictures. Sheila you do understand Sydney inside out, you've chosen a lot of the best possible locations and time to shoot from... just fantastic! I am sure much more themes can come out of just this one great city via your eyes, techniques, detail plans and gears! Voted and bookmarked.
Craig Artlett 13-Nov-2007 00:12
Thanks Sheila for sharing the most extensive and inspirational gallery of Sydney I've seen. It brings back a lot of memories. You have given me a lot of ideas for photography for when I do manage to go back home, which is about every two years. Big vote.
Pawel Olas 02-Nov-2007 06:00

m 24-Jun-2007 12:13
erm you wish... sydney is so much better than melbourne its not even funny... when someone thinks of australia., what do they think of, the opera house or the bridge... melbourne sucks at everything... i mean theres nothing to it, and neighbours doesnt even have any viewers any more!
melbourne sucks... sydney is the face of australia.. face it
Apostolos Tikopoulos 27-May-2007 11:11
Fantastic collection of Sydneys captures. Great work. V.
Denis Bolton 26-Apr-2007 14:56
Sheila, as a budding Landscape photograher your images give me great inspiration, though I doubt I could ever develop the eye that you have for a picture. Can't wait to return to Sydney next year and attempt to emulate some of the shots you have so kindly shared.
You must be very proud of your work, you have every right to be. Thank you. Denis,UK.
Ian Morehouse 20-Feb-2007 12:02
Sorry Sheila, great as your photo are and there is no disputing that point, Melbourne is more beautiful than Sydney even in the middle of the worst drought on record. LOL

SB 27-Feb-2005 02:40
Sheila,

Your eye is wonderful. This is my favorite gallery. Great job and keep the fantastic photos coming.
Admirer 15-Feb-2005 02:09
What a great eye you have, you've captured the many moods of a city I have lived in and loved for over fifty years. I particularly liked "look over your shoulder" and the misty shots of the bridge.
Congratulations, an admirer.

They go to the beach - http://www.pbase.com/sheila/day_at_the_beach or they sit, work and walk at Circular Quay http://www.pbase.com/sheila/candids - I don't like to duplicate images from other galleries although I do on occasion. That said, I have taken your comments on board and will add some images showing "life".

Cheers
Sheila

just a guest 26-Jan-2005 09:32
Hi Sheila,
No doubt these are beautiful pictures and technically very well done, but where are Sydney's inhabitants? How do they stroll through the city on sun- and weekdays, where do they eat at noon, how are they when they go to the beach, are there marketplaces for foodshopping, how are they dressed to go to work, how do they go to work, how is leisure time in the city,...? There is not a lot of'life' on your pictures.
Naturephoto Monique 25-Jan-2005 10:03
Hi Sheila, you have always been my favorite photographer, you still are.
Your work is beautiful, so is your design, congrats!

Great stuff. Makes me regret a decision I once made about taking a trip to Sydney, or saving money for school!
Rob Lewis 19-Jan-2005 11:07
Great shots Sheila, a great inspiration to take better photographs. You certainly have an eye for the subject.

Keep on inspiring us all.
Katie Jones 07-Jan-2005 17:16
Beautiful gallery! It makes me think of the 5 brilliant days i spent in Sydney last year...think i will have to start planning a return visit!
Russell Watts 21-Dec-2004 11:00
great gallery, have you any shots of Manly
Ian Morehouse 02-Nov-2004 10:11
If you are going to ruin Sydney's reputation with such a fine gallery I had better go and spend sometime on Melbourne.
Twan 30-Oct-2004 21:35
Great pictures well done! Our memories of travelling in Australia is in our heads when we see those pictures. Greetings from Holland, Chantal & Twan

Magnificent gallery, Sheila! There's not much more that I can add that others haven't already said. The Harbour Bridge and Luna Park shots are just terrific. I'll be back to check out your other galleries.

My visits to Sydney have given me a life time memory, your photos only recreate a longing to return and see more wonderful sights and enjoy the sunshine. luv wendy
George Bard 24-Apr-2004 19:39
My favorite pub is the "Lord Nelson" just under the bridge from the rocks as I recall. It's been years. Lovely photos. I sailed around the harbor on HMS Bounty replica when it was moored across from the opera house. Bitters on George St. Nice memories. Thanks.
Brussels Sprout 05-Apr-2004 21:57
I travelled a lot and brought quite some pics (most still on paper but around 1.000 on my pbase page).
I've never been to Sydney. Looking at your pics, I definitely should.
Thanks for sharing

You have some stunning images here Sheila, I can see we will have to take advantage of some of the cheap transtassie airfares and come on over! - well done
tomash bednarz 30-Dec-2003 06:26
huh, nothing to add: wonderful photos and magical place - esspecially Sydney. I was there for one week trip and I was delighted by the nature you can meet in the city. Am from Poland, but temporary residing in Fukuoka/Japan - kind regards from this place to you. I hope I can visit Australia again in near future.
Adrian Bain 25-Dec-2003 04:05
Hi Sheila,

This is fantastic work and easily the best collection of Sydney Photography from anyone I've seen on the net.

I hope to see more of your work in future. You have a great eye for this city.

John Gleeson 28-Nov-2003 12:26
Hi Sheila

Your galleries are just great. I have a D60 also but you seem to capture much better colours than I seem to get. Maybe it's something to do with the weather in Oz. My gallery is at www.pbase.com/sigma33. This was a holiday in the British Virgin Islands. The results still had to be doctored in Photoshop though. What filters if any do you use?

Best Regards

John Gleeson john.gleeson@tiscali.co.uk

I still have a way to go to get as good as you though.

I love your Sydney perspective. I lived in Manly between 1992-1994 and have fond memories of the area. You have an eye for getting a fresh perspective on the sights of Sydney. Can't wait to see more of your work!

Great pic's from Sydney. It looks great, particularly to be a German, far away from Australia. I'm going to bookmark your gallery in order to get additional wonderful impressions.

Great photos !!!! I love them all.......
Sheila Smart 17-Jun-2002 00:52
Thank you Malcolm. I always check the composition etc before snapping but it also helps these days to have a digital camera when you can delete as you go. If you are a serious amateur, I suggest you check out Fred Miranda's site at www.fredmiranda.com where you can post your photographs.
Cheers
Sheila
Guest 16-Jun-2002 11:26
i've noticed that many of the posters pics are very basic, but yours stand out as being well crafted and thought about before you click the shutter.
