Raining Illusions was the image I’d ostensibly come to Sculptures By The Sea to take
All the rest was just some light painting fun before and after this
The sculpture is titled “Lens” and is by artist Joel Adler. It’s in what we call the prime position here in Marks Park at Bondi. A giant disco ball (or mirrorball) sitting within this stone circle. It’s spinable too
For this final image we have some light painting extravaganza in the foreground blended with the star trails for the sky
We had a bit of luck with the near absence of clouds. From around 10:35PM till we were forced to finish at around 11:20PM. Alas the clouds started rolling over at this point. I was actually hoping to let the trails run for at least another hour. Unfortunately around 45 minutes was all we’d get
I even managed to get some of the star trails reflected in the top part of the mirrorball which was kinda neat
The pixel stick rainbow wave wasn’t mine. Another group of light painters wanted to jump in and do some stuff before we started doing star trails exposures
