Sydney Travels! Day 1 & 2

in #travel6 years ago

Saturday after my usual gymnastics training my grandma my great aunt and I headed to Sydney for the week, getting back on a Friday before I had gymnastics training once again. The plane trip was pretty normal; unfortunately there were no windows where we sat so no take-off photos. Upon arrival, it was pretty late so we got in the taxi, went to the Mercure Hotel and slept for the night. Day two was more interesting.

The room we stayed in not sure what was on tv and why it says that!

A tour map we used to get around and, mostly, not get lost. Excuse my bad computer drawing skills of the hotel (towards the bottom of the map).

Sunday Day #2

This day was mostly spent walking and figuring out what was nearby. We went to Paddy's Market and a few others before heading to the memorials and Hyde Park. My Grandmother and Aunt also visited the nearby art gallery, while I stayed outside and had a meal instead.

There were many people around so getting a photo with nobody in was hard

This guy was spotted while I was getting my wrap. A bit confusing as it is called an Indian Myna compared to the Noisy Miner that I am used to. Don't worry it has two legs! It might have had cold toes and was warming them up.

From the fountains and art gallery we headed through Circular Quay across to the Botanic Gardens and round to Mrs Macquaries Pt. From there we had a great view of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge with a few city views.

If you take a whole bunch of pictures of a scene, on a tripod, and there's people in the shot, you can delete them using the "Median" script in Photoshop.

Here's a tutorial.

Would love to try quite a few photoshop things out, unfortunately, my computer can't handle most of them though. I'll have to see if I can find one my computer dosn't break down on. I also had to travel light so I left my tripod behind.
