Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, bench

This artwork was installed on the Circular Quay foreshore, as part of the Vivid Sydney festival. "C/C" is a futuristic and functional sculpture created by Singapore's Angela Chong. It is made from acrylic sheets fashioned into a public bench, illuminated by night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. The shots from the front have the Sydney Opera House as a backdrop, while those from behind look out towards Circular Quay and the city skyline. I featured a daytime shot of this artwork here.

  8. Your night shots always amaze me: so crisp and clear!


    MOST WONDERFUL

    The sky’s a most wonderful thing,
    Enjoyed by both peasant and king;
    No matter the eye
    That sees the bright sky
    The proper response is to sing!

  11. Kim, yes I usually use a tripod for these types of night shots because the shutter stays open longer and there would be too much shaking to capture a clear shot otherwise.
