Sydney – City of Lights

I haven’t placed up original content in a long time, so here is one. It’s also my first ever timelapse film.

During May and June, Sydney takes Paris’ title of City of Lights. This is the Vivid Festival, a festival of lights, sound and art.

The light installation are projected onto iconic buildings on Macquarie St and then the Sydney Opera House.

Something I’ve learnt when doing this timelapse is that:

*Timelapse takes long… if you invite friends along, make sure they have something to do, or else they’ll nag you to leave.

*Shooting at night is hard to focus, even when you digital zoom.

*Bring extra clothes and an mp3 or video player, it’s gonna be a looooong night.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my timelapse of Vivid Sydney. I might ad some additional shots of sundown as you could see, the first shot was really quick… I only got to the location at 4pm and the Sun was going down already…

More timelapses to come!
