The second day of G20 meetings and my orchestra has a concert out at St Lucia, in the building next door to the one the President spoke at yesterday. It was well-signed...
Ah, he was a day early for all the fun though...

| The President was a day late... |
Afterwards, I was determined to finally get to see the lights in the city. It was quite an adventure. The buses were still on shuttle duty; I was going to see a friend in hospital; and it was actually getting hotter as the evening approached. However, tonight was the last night.
Of course, the coloured lights have been on for a while, much of the time while I was away. And so being one of the last people to shoot means that all the good shots have been taken (and posted) by others much better at this long exposure photography than I will ever be.
Nonetheless, it was still a lot of fun to get out there and experiment with shutter speeds, apertures, lenses and so on. I've picked a couple or three of my faves.

| For starters, from the Goodwill Bridge |
 |
| Behind the scenes of 'BRISBANE' |
 |
| The police boat, because we won't see this again for a while |
 |
| Sometimes just a reflection... |
 |
| Across the river... |
 |
| There's some movement on the river... |
 |
| And there were more colours.... |
 |
| All the colours: buildings and river as lorikeets |
 |
| Am-bushed |
 |
| A bridge too far... |
 |
| Trying to be original... |
 |
| Yeah, it's still Bris to me... |
 |
| But let's not forget, we were fenced out... |
 |
| WHEEL as TRANSFORMER!!!! |
 |
| Thanks to the ABC, spinning wheels all weekend |
Congrats to twitter friend, Jono Perry, @pedrojono, who I understand was behind much of the spectacle. And thanks also to friends at 612ABC all of whom did a phenomenal job over an extended weekend. Well done. I could do it all again...
