Default Vivid - Festival of Light, Music and Ideas

Lot of you guys love doing landscape/landmark stuff so I thought I'd post a note.

http://vividsydney.com/

Vivid Sydney is back to shine light, music and ideas across the city in the biggest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

From large-scale light installations and projections through to music performances, ideas, creative summits and beyond, Vivid Sydney pulls out all the stops across every creative field.

Rain + Low Light + Night = Good photo opportunity.

Yes...worse then the rain.

Alot of them get artistic and ruin the shot for every body by standing in front of it or doing their down lighting setup...

Wide lens and close. Just be careful of distortion caused by not keeping the camera level.

Just went for a run over the bridge and down to the Opera House.

They are projecting already.

Buildings in front of the Cahill look awesome.

Default Amusing myself while waiting...

The lighting on the Opera House is a little slow to change at times and I got bored, so I did this 5-shot panorama...

You could wait for the rain to stop than go out shooting.
