Every year as part of Dark Mofo “paint the town red” echoes across Hobart with buildings and landmarks such as the Tasman Bridge lit in red through the winter solstice.

Dark Mofo – Paint the Town Red. The Tasman Bridge in red and Spectra

Last night, with this years event drawing to a close, I photographed the Tasman Bridge with clear skies and the Spectra beam in the background. I was also hoping to get the fireworks too but my position turned out to be in exactly the wrong spot!

Fireworks – right behind the pylon from where I was standing!

I shot most of these in bulb mode, with shutter speeds around 1 minute in length. The panoramas are three or four images stitched together.

There has been some talk in recent days that Dark Mofo might not continue but fingers crossed it is here for the long term 🙂
