Anticipation

Vivid Sydney festival started today and I couldn't go due to comp night at Camera club. Hoping to get there soon, in the next couple of days.
This year's festival is supposed to be bigger, better and more colourful. Will share images as soon as I get them. They will start popping on 365 soon enough.
In consolation, here's a shot I took earlier, when the sails were lit up for Earth day. This is SOOC

Gorgeous long exposure image. Nice and sharp and clear, so trace of noise or other intereference.

[Marloes]

How wonderfull! Where did you leave all those spectators in your shot? Are they all hidden in the centre of that great orb? ;)
