Vivid Sydney 2013 - Our Favourite Photographs

This is the last instalment of my Vivid Sydney 2013 posts. If you missed the first two parts, please check this and this.

I just want to share a few of our favourite photos from the three nights we went out exploring. Most of these are just shots of the Harbour Bridge and the images on Sydney Opera House. 

Under the Harbour Bridge, with the city of Sydney Opera House (left side) and the city of Sydney (right side). I love all the elements in this photograph. Technically, this photo took a lot of tries. Night photography is not easy and to put people into the frame is more challenging (I had to not move for a loooong time). And then we added that "halo heart" around me which made it very tricky. Nevertheless, we are very happy with the result, we did it! Big thanks to our photographer friend Larry, who created this concept.

Surrounded by the glowing lights of Sydney. Here's the Husband who lights up my world with a thousand bright colours {cheesy!! pardon me but that's really what I wrote in my instagram :)}. It's seldom that the Husband and I have a decent photo and this one below is a rare moment when a photographer friend makes a superb job of photographing us. 

The iconic Harbour Bridge captured in different lights with a backdrop of the city. It was the first time they lit this up for the Vivid Sydney. Two years ago, we were in one of the pillars of this bridge taking photos of Vivid Sydney (VS) from above. This year, we had to go near it...and under it because it's one of the main attractions of VS.

The Sydney Opera House showed the best spectacular images to-date. The biggest attraction during Vivid Sydney is the Opera House. We always have high expectations when it comes to the lighting of its sails simply because it is Australia's most famous icon. And this year, the Opera House' light show exceeded our expectations. It was the most attractive light show of the Opera House and we loved its concept "Play".

"Play" showed images that reminded us of the 80s such as the cassette tape. 

In line with concept of play, an image pertaining to a Pinball Machine was shown.

An image of Luna Park, Australia's amusement park.

Artworks and movements projected on the Opera House. 

I believe this year's Vivid Sydney was the most successful we've had. On the last weekend of Vivid Sydney, we learned that hundreds of people went to the city to see it. The thick crowd was likened to the New Year's Eve Sydney celebrations. Nowadays, it's not just Sydneysiders that come to see it but also travellers from all over the world. It's amazing that this city is slowly becoming known for Vivid Sydney.

Vivid Sydney had a dramatic end on 10th June when on the last few hours, a blanket of fog covered the city. The fog seem to have brought an ambiance of sadness but to me, it was the perfect dreamy way of taking a bow and bidding us adieu.
