If you would like pictures to accompany an existing article, please describe here exactly what you are looking for a photo of, and please sign your request.

Offers to take pictures

If you are able to take pictures, please give a general idea here of the types of areas in Sydney, or types of things that you would like to take photos of.

I live in Hurlstone Park, and can get pictures of surrounding suburbs if you have anything particular in mind. Oh Sydney University is also possible for me. 99of9 01:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

I have started taking and adding a few photography to sydney related articles. Can anyone think of any articles (especialy that relate to the CBD or marrickville) that urgently need any ?--Marc pasquin 19:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gowings? Andjam 14:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, during the meetup, the Gowings building was raised as very urgent because the company's future is uncertain. Newhoggy | Talk 13:12, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also want to add that the big hole at Lane Cove Tunnel would be a nice picture, and is urgent because they might fix it. It's supposed to be filled with cement by now though. Newhoggy | Talk 13:16, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What's happening with the landmarks page? I'm keen on taking some photos. Newhoggy | Talk 09:12, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone help with photos of buildings designed by Walter Burley Griffin, particularly of the incinerator at Willoughby and houses at Castlecrag. WBG is a featured work up article for the Canberra wikiproject. Regards--A Y Arktos 19:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone help with any photos of any railway stations in Sydney? - We need them for the station pages if they are going to look any good... rail photographers don't usually like departing from their photos. (JROBBO 04:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I've added some photos to the Museum Station pages. I actually live in Christchurch, but I was in Sydney early last week and took a heaps of photos. I'm trying to upload them whenever I get a chance - the ones I've done so far can be found here. Keep up the good work! - Gobeirne 23:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What makes a good railway station photograph?99of9 01:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It should captures the arrangement of the station well - a good shot of the station platforms would be good, and perhaps one of the entrance if it's interesting or unique. Have a look at List of Melbourne railway stations and look at their photos of most stations - they are quite good. (JROBBO 09:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

More buildings request - can anyone help with illustrations for Harry Seidler or for buildings more generally to illustrate Australian architectural styles? Perhaps to inspire some rivalry, the article is currently well illustrated with buildings from Melbourne, Canberra, country NSW, even some Perth and Brisbane. The article did say "It is generally acepted within Architectural and Historical communities that Melbourne, Victoria contains the greatest depth of styles in Australia." While the assertion has been removed, it currently looks to be true, if we don't get any illustrations from Sydney to balance :-)--A Y Arktos 19:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the CityRail page, I am going to need photos of all the different types of trains. I'm not sure if the publicity shots from the CityRail website count as Fair Use, so some photos of each type of train would be excellent: that is, R/S/L Set (non-airconditioned silver train), K set, C set, V set (intercity trains) , T set (Tangara) , M set (Millenium Train), OSCar (H Set), Hunter Railcar, 620/720s, Endeavour.

Urgent - can someone get a shot of the Spirit of Tasmania III before it is cancelled? The last service is on the 27th of August. (JROBBO 07:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Here's a shot from last year that might be of use: [Image:Sydney_harbour_Sp_Tas-1aw.jpg] mike

Just in case you still need a shot of Spirit III, you can find another here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bay_of_Sydney_-_Spirit_Of_Tasmania_III.jpg --Sam67fr 17:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Harbour Crossings

I'm interested in doing a "Bridges in Sydney" or "Sydney Harbour Crossings" article, or something more expansive incorporating the many harbour crossings and harbour tributary crossings in Sydney. To do this, if anyone can get them, it would be great to get:

Glebe Island Bridge (not the new one (ANZAC Bridge) for which there is already a photo), but the old swing bridge.

I'll try and get this one. I work on a boat that sometimes goes through the old bridge. I'll duck onto the deck next time and get a couple of shots. Witty lama 13:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The bridges in Parramatta over the river: the Marsden Bridge, Lennox Bridge, the other one without a name (carries O'Connell Street I think...), the Gasworks Bridge. Also the Camellia rail bridge between Rydalmere and Camellia stations on the Carlingford Line and the water pipe bridge next to it, and the couple of pedestrian bridges over the river between the Harbour Bridge and Parramatta as well.
The James Ruse Drive bridge over the Parramatta River
The bridge carrying Silverwater Road over the Parramatta River.
Fig Tree Bridge
Tarban Creek Bridge
The bridges over the Lane Cove River at Epping Road, Lady Game Drive, etc.
Sydney Harbour Tunnel
Any other bridges over water without a photo

Thanks. (JROBBO 09:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'd probably add: Ryde Bridge (needs photo), John Whitton Bridge, and also the "Mortlake Ferry" / "Putney Punt Vehicular Ferry" from Putney to Mortlake which (if I understand correctly) operates mostly on weekends, and only maybe twice a day, and which takes cars across the harbour. I don't know if it's still operating, but I've been meaning to take that ferry for ages, just to try it! (Photo here). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 05:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ryde Bridge has a photo at Wikimedia Commons - [[Image:Rydebridge1.jpg]] - one of the bridge from the Meadowbank side and one close up of the lift span. One from the Putney side would be good though. The correct title I think of the punt is the "Mortlake Punt" (but "Mortlake Ferry" should be a redirect. It operates all day on weekdays and a couple of times a day on weekends and public holidays. (JROBBO 03:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

That photo looks to have been deleted - Image:Rydebridge1.jpg - so it probably had an unsuitable / no license. I hadn't realised the ferry ran so often - live and learn! -- All the best, Nickj (t) 02:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC

Found it - it's in Commons, not in WP: [1]

Thank you - it was the ".JPG" capitalization - i.e. Image:Rydebridge1.JPG, not Image:Rydebridge1.jpg; And I just have to say that the searching of commons is completely useless. E.g. how can this image search on "Ryde bridge" return no results?!! Even a search on the exact file name, "Rydebridge1.JPG" still returns no results. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 03:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
