Light trails at the Gertrude Street Projection Festival

Hi all,

Recently when I visited the Gertrude Street Projection Festival I had a great time with my tripod doing some light trails with the traffic. Trams were my favourite as they provide an amazing trail given their size and the lighting inside.

Melbourne Star Light Painting

Hi all,

I visited the Melbourne Star ferris wheel with a friend of mine this week. I got creative with the camera and lights on the wheel to create these photos. I maybe biased, but I think these are lovely artistic photos. What do you think?

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Cheers, Andrew 🙂

 

Happy New Year 2014!

Hi everyone,

I hope you had an excellent night bringing in 2014! I was lucky to find a good spot to get some fireworks photos across the Melbourne skyline, we did some light painting too!

These fireworks were at 9.30pm from Footscray Park.

Happy New Year, may 2014 be a great one!!

Christmas Light Painting

Hi all,

What an exciting time of year, christmas!! I am very grateful to people who decorate their houses for the festive season as it is a great opportunity for light painting!

Some of these photos show the amazing lights and displays, and others are me having fun with the lights! I hope you enjoy!

I used http://christmaslightsearch.com.au/Australia/ to find christmas lights near me if you want to give it a go.

If you get a chance it is definitely worth checking some christmas lights out!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for checking out my blog 🙂

Cheers, Andrew

Light Painting at the Royal Melbourne Show

Hi all,

Yesterday we went to the Royal Melbourne Show. We had a ball -such a fun place! I set my tripod up once the sun had set and took to the rides section. All those moving lights on the rides were sure to give me some great light painting opportunities – I was not disappointed!

What do you think of these 5 photos?

All were shot at ISO 100 f11.0 Shutter speed between 2 and 6 seconds.

Thanks for checking out my post 🙂

Cheers, Andrew

 

 

Docklands Fireworks

Hi everyone,

I hope your weekend is going well. Until the end of August, Docklands have free Friday night fireworks that go for about 10 minutes from 7pm. I went along last Friday to take some photos.

It was a first time for me taking photos of fireworks, but I think they turned out pretty well!

All of these were taken with my Sony RX100 on a tripod. The manual settings were:

ISO: 125    Aperture: f10     Shutter: 5 sec

Definitely worth photographing fireworks, quite fun!

Cheers, Andrew

Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building At Night

Hi all,

Last week on our way back from the Gertrude Street Projection Festival, my creativity was sparked when I saw the lighting on the Royal Exhibition Building. I just had to set the tripod up again and get some shots.

I was particularly pleased with the fountain shot below. The backlight created a beautiful glow effect on the water spray coming off the fountain:

ISO: 1600 Aperture: f3.5 Shutter: 1/13

ISO: 1600 Aperture: f4.0 Shutter: 1/15

I have to say night photography and lights are quickly becoming a favourite of mine. I hope you enjoyed 🙂

If you’d like to see more photos as I post them, please follow my blog!!

Cheers, Andrew
