A high-contrast black and white photo taken standing in the middle level of Sydney's Martin Place Metro station looking both up to the entrance and down to the bottom level. There is a lift directly in front at the bottom, with two sets of double-escalators on either side, and then another two escalators coming in from either side of the frame going up to the brightly-lit entrance to the station.

A high-contrast, very moody black and white photo inside a big gothic cathedral looking down the aisles of pews towards the altar.

A high-contrast black and white photo of the platform at Gadigal station, with a bunch of people standing around. It's all very clean and white and futuristic-looking.

Today was a day ending in Y so we took the Metro again, this time to the Art Gallery of NSW. We dropped into St. Mary's Cathedral on the way back, and I realised that the photo I took inside there plus the couple of the Metro platform and station looked great in high-contrast black and white. I also realised that with us getting off at Martin Place Station this morning, we've now seen all of the new CBD Metro stations!

I also brought the DSLR along and took some Proper Photos of my favourite pieces of art in the gallery.

A photo of the tunnel right as you leave Gadigal station. It's brightly lit with walls that curve up and are corrugated to deaden echoes. The bottom half of the walls are an off-white, and the top half are alternating black and white, and the roof is black. It's very visually striking.

A photo of the HUGE mural at the middle set of escalators at Gadigal station. It's multiple storeys high, tiled, and features a bright cheerful yellow background with a blue tunnel painted in the middle that curves off the right.

A photo taken from the top of the escalators down into the Metro platform at Barangaroo. The walls are roughly-cut sandstone with some sort of leafy (I think?) art decoration at the right.

Today we took the bus to the Metro, then the Metro in to the city so we could go visit the Sydney Aquarium!

Have I mentioned how good the Metro is? Because I feel like it bears repeating, it's SO GOOD. We got off in the morning at Gadigal station, and after we finished with the aquarium we walked north and then took the Metro from Barangaroo back to Tallawong. They've done such a fantastic job with the interior of the stations, it's bright and modern and interesting, I love it.

I bought the DSLR along so I could take photos in the aquarium, and I got some shots of our wanderings through Barangaroo that I'm really happy with too.

A photo looking out the front window of a Sydney Metro train in the tunnel, the tunnel is a rounded shape and we're in motion so there's a ton of motion blur.

We are home! Taking the Metro to Central and changing to the airport line was such a damned good idea, it was so convenient. No road tolls, plus I didn't need to attempt to drive while being tired.

However the downside of being up at 4:50am is that it's now 9:23am and my body is telling me it's lunch time.

A photo looking down the full length of a Sydney Metro train, with nobody whatsoever on it.

Making the most excellent decision to take the Metro to Chatswood to have Mamak for dinner.

A photo from the front of a train looking out at the tracks going off into the distance. It's an above-ground part of the route and the sky above is grey and cloudy.

A high-contrast black and white photo out the front of the train from inside one of the tunnels. The tracks are going off around a slight bend and the whole shape of the tunnel is completely round.

My favourite thing about the Metro is the photographic possibilities offered by being able to see directly out the front window because the trains are driverless.

A photo looking down the entire inside length of a Sydney Metro single deck train. There's almost nobody on it.

I am on a train! (Have I mentioned how much I love the Metro? Because it's pretty great.)

We used the brand-new Sydney Metro to get there and back (well, part of the way since they terminate at Chatswood), the trains are automated and driverless so you can stand at the very front of the train and look directly out the front window to watch yourself zooming through the tunnels! It honestly felt like we were in a city other than Sydney, because until now we've only had the massive double-decker trains.
