Silence of Ms. Macquarie's Skyline Color Edition

  • Photographer
    Akira Takaue, Japan

One of the world skyline series, taken at Sydney, Australia. I would like to capture the
contrast of modern skyscraper of Sydney reflected by day lights and classic structures of
Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge based on 7-min long exposure in day light in order
to emphasize the contrast of the objects from the abstracted sky and sea by the long-exposure.

Dr. Akira TAKAUE is a Fine Art Photographer, working for not only architectural photography as a professional architectural photographer but also various international huge construction projects worldwidely such as long-span cable supported bridges and relevant mega architectures as an architect and professional engineer. And has completed a Doctoral Degree (Dr.Eng., Ph.D.) in Structural Mechanics specialized in bridges and architectures, being involved with academic activity for such the fields in various international educational establishment and conferences.
