From Star To Finish

A Burst Of Colour In The Night Sky

It was about midnight and we were driving past Victoria Square in Adelaide when we spotted the giant, illuminated Christmas tree that is about the size of a six-storey building. So we backtracked and pulled over to photograph the tree and this surrounding display. This was one of those high-mounted stars, probably two metres in diameter and maybe three metres high. The light pattern started in the centre and radiated swiftly outwards. I tried timing my shot to get it exactly as the LED diplay reached the outermost part of the star. The first time, I wasn't even close, but I reckon I nailed it the second time.
