Vivid Sydney - Part 2


These shots were taken around the end of Macquarie street Sydney, showing the state Parliament House, the Museum and St Mary's Cathedral and Hyde park. I took these last night in the last few days before the light festival is concluded. I just love the low light end of photography. ALL these pictures were taken hand held without any tripod at all.

The photos of the trees are my favorites...the 2 that are lit and the 1 that is not lit.

How is it that the buildings are different colors in some photos and different colors in other photos? And with writing on them? I looked and can't see where light sources are being used, but I am guessing that MUST be how it's done somehow... I wondered this yesterday, too. Whoever put this all together is very, very talented. Must have been a real treat to see it all in person. :)

Yes Tammy, the projection boxes are all in front of the buildings and the projections change every 5 minutes. It was a treat to see Tammy, and yes I think that from last years experience with the Opera House colours changing they created stories about the origins of Sydney's creation in 1788 and then created stories and projections on the buildings.

I mean seriously...lol...even the pipe arch (or whatever it is) is even lit perfectly. How is that done? lol

And yes, that photo with the trees and the 5 people underneath is my fave. It's spectacular. I'm not sure if you took it for a singing group or what the story is behind it, but I hope they seriously consider using it!

The pipe arches are actually white pipes and are lit with the blue light at the base of each side of the road and the colour just follows straight up the arch pipes, a simple idea and just gorgeous.

I like the same picture with the people, I just took the shots for myself, but will use it somewhere sometime!
