The Sydney Harbour YHA rooftop balcony provided me with the best vantage point I’ve had for Sydney’s New Years Eve Fireworks shows at 9pm and Midnight including a panoramic view of Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge
A handful of my photos are displayed below, along with a bigger slideshow selection of some of the better fireworks photos. Read my Tips To Take Best Fireworks Photos: Location, Camera Equipment and Settings if you want to improve your photos.
The photos were taken by me with a Canon 500D digital SLR using a 15-85 EFS USM lense kept steady by a Velbon Sherpa 750R tripod.
Photo Slideshow – Sydney Fireworks Midnight New Years Eve 2009
Disclosure: The camera and tripod were on media loan to me so I could review them. YHA Sydney Harbour gave me accommodation for the night of NYE in exchange for being able to use my photos in their marketing materials.

isn’t it just waste of money… they have spend so many dollars in it.. they can spend it by helping some poor people in Somalia or Pakistan or any third world country.. that would be a noble way to celebrate new year..
Oh, now I want to be here for New Year’s some day. This looks fabulous. Great shots. And this destination is now on my “bucket list.”
Looks like a beautiful display of fireworks. There is something so magical about fireworks no matter what age you are. Happy 2010.
Woww! They are simply amazing! Haven’t seen such night in real!
