Riverfire 2011 Timelapse

Every year in Brisbane Australia, around half a million people line the riverbanks to celebrate at Riverfire - a pyrotechnic and light display of fireworks, cannon lights and lasers.

This time-lapse was taken from various locations around South Bank and Casino Towers, and documents from when crowds first build during the day, to when they disperse after the main event.

The idea for this personal project was formed on a whim, but after a few awkward moments of silent excitement we decided, "why not?"

We hope you enjoy it!

great work! how did you get so many shots? heaps of cameras?

[lukegordonharris]

@MadeinChinakiki Thanks for the compliments! We had three cameras, did quite a bit of walking for the shots in Southbank. Also some of the closer shots of fireworks are just crops of a larger panoramic photo.

Nice, but missed the fuel burning of the old F14. Too bad that was the last chance.
