Thanks useful information: 4
White Bay Powerstation is no longer in use. It will be a familiar site for anyone that has driven over Anzac Bridge.
There is a photographic open day on Sunday 22 May from 10am to 4pm and tripods are permitted on this day. The site is normally closed to the public.

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
Very interesting.
I told Xenedette about this and she's quite keen.
We'll probably attend both days.
The location might be very good for HDR images. I can imagine that the place would be difficult to shoot in terms of exposure. Tripod and bracketing would be necessary for optimal results.
I would definitely be interested but I just have to check that I don't have any gigs on for band and make sure hubby is ok with me having two photography weekends in a row. We have the Vivid light show on Saturday the 28th.

I just called, and we're booked for the 12:30pm tour.
The tours (of the turbine hall) run for 15 minutes.
The rep on the phone told me there's been a huge response to this open day, so my advice is that you book NOW.
Afternoon sessions are available, but it seems the morning sessions are mostly filled.
You can bring cameras on the tour day (Saturday), but no tripods. Tripods are fine on the Sunday photography day.
WOW always wanted to photograph this place.. will be there os sunday with my tripod
cheers!

Thanks for the heads up Peter, waited a long time for this.
I will check with the boss, but it should be ok
I'm in! I may bring Andre and my German visitor again, if that is ok with everyone, who came with me to Mt Tomah.

Have a good time there guys, I can't go because I'm dropping Mary off at the airport at midday, she's off to Italy for a month.

I can't go
Oh I would love to go to that but there is no way to get to Sydney at the moment. Still, hopefully they will do it again, I'll watch the website. I googled it under Images and it would be fantastic at sunrise.
