The Vivid Festival, Sydney Australia 2012

Sydney Harbour was transformed for a few weeks with the Vivid Festival 2012. Stunning lighting displays transformed the harbour into a visual wonderland! It took me a few attempts to get down there due to rain and immense crowds, but finally I got there on the last night and the crowds were small and the rain managed to hold off, and I finally got to test my new camera!

The attractions on show were impressive, with a selection of interactive displays, some static and then several motion lighting displays which we were amazing! Hopefully it will make a return next year for its fifth year!

Atelier De Velo - Bike Shop & Cafe, Sydney

A couple of months ago while shooting the Baxter Inn, I discover Atelier De Velo on Clarence Street in Sydney; a very nice looking bike shop that has a little coffee bar up the back. The style of the shop is very modern, open and puts your every day bike shop to shame. They have a good range of bikes, clothes, gear and everything bike, a full work shop that you can see the staff working on the bikes and the guys there are all top guys.

The cafe in the back of the store makes a great coffee, has a selection of tasty treats and also has some good breakfast foods like muesli and organic toast.
