Sydney’s annual light, music and art festival, Vivid, returns this week, with the lights turned on from Friday.
The festival now runs for 23 nights and attracts 1.7 million last year, making it bigger than the Sydney Festival and Sydney Royal Easter Show.
This year’s main attraction at the Sydney Opera House is a feature called Songlines, an animated canvas of Australian Indigenous contemporary paintings. It is the first Indigenous work commissioned for the sails of the Opera House and features six artists from different clans.
Of course, one of the best parts about going to Vivid is taking photos of the displays, so we got tips from some of Canon’s expert photographers about how to take great pictures while you check out the lights.
