Tourist @ The Rail - Sydney Opera House

On this particular day — I got to the Opera House well past the good light on this particular day. It was a bright, sunny, cloudless day, and it was packed with tourists. I was also shooting with my "small" camera (Fuji XE-1) with a limited zoom lens. So, I had to spend a good amount of time seeing what would make a photograph out of this limited creative "box." The shape of the Opera House always inspire the minimalist in me, and the harsh light made me focus more on details rather than the scope of the structure. Essentially I had to look at the things that everyone else around me was ignoring. I looked up and saw the interplay between the people on the rail... what they were looking at... and what THEY wanted the people "back home to see" (note the lady taking a selfie on the right of the rail. It was this interaction with the landscape that WASN'T the Opera House that fascinated me. In this shot, the Opera House (what everyone else was "seeing" is simply the backdrop for the human interaction in front of it.
