The Other Side of Vivid - Panoramas...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The Other Side of Vivid - Panoramas...

Postby Remorhaz on Mon May 27, 2013 11:23 am

A less known aspect of Vivid Sydney this year is the move to include some Vivid magic on the north side of the harbour (in North Sydney) as well as on the western side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

You can't really see any of this from the city/circular quay but if you head over to Luna Park or Blues Point you can see the lighting on the bridge itself.

Before heading into the city to check out this years Vivid my girls and I first headed down to Blues Point to scope it out - this was taken at 5:25PM (about half an hour after sunset but half an hour before the lights for Vivid Sydney started - plus with a full moon behind the bridge - tricky) and is a panorama stitch of seven (7) frames taken with the 16-35/4 @ 35mm, 15 seconds @ f/11 and ISO 100

Later that night when we'd finished in the city we returned briefly to see the Bridge (and Opera House, Pyrmont and city buildings) all multicoloured lit up at night.

This one taken at 9PM (in the rain - sigh... my daughters did a great job holding the umbrella over me and my camera whilst I completed the sequence) and again a panorama stitch of seven (7) frames taken with the 16-35/4 @ 35mm, 30 seconds @ f/8 and ISO 100
