Brisbane at Night - A Photographic Record

Brisbane came of age during Expo 88 and is now a vibrant city. As night falls you can head out to Kangaroo Point and the cliffs near the city to capture the river and the lights.

The images here are all from a Canon G3 (4MP) on a Manfrotto tripod on manual exposure. Images are up to 30 second exposures as you can see from the distances boats and cars are travelling during the shots.

The World Press Photo Exhibition comes to Brisbane in June each year, a friend of mine told me about it a few years ago, and I have been going each year since.  A few of us meet pre-dawn at a different location and go looking for photo’s.  This year we  headed down to the bottom of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs around 5:30AM, and waited for the light.

Here are a few of the results.
