If you are visiting Sydney for the first time then Paddington Reservoir Gardens<\/a> has to be on your list of places to visit. A commercial client request brought me to the gardens for the first time.<\/p>\n

This unique public space situated in Sydney’s eastern suburbs has everything from iron rooftops to brick archways and surrounded by tropical plants and water gardens. A similarity has been drawn to the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome and the hanging gardens in Babylon. A former water reservoir for the City of Sydney it has since been restored to its former glory.<\/p>\n

From a photographers point of view the combination of deep blue sky, shadows and highlights certainly produces a great dynamic range. In terms of composition, the iron rooftop in particular have all the ingredients of lines, textures and patterns. Overall a great location to photograph.<\/p>\n
