a tripod and a working knowledge of Lightroom.

This festival has been going for a few years now, but certainly a more noticeable presence in the last couple of years.
Definitely bigger and better this year. I've only shown 3 of the 900+ photos I took over 3 nights at 7 different locations. And tonight one of the lightshows is being choreographed with fireworks too, so I hope I can get a parking spot!
Also more interactive this year. The Harbour Bridge light display is entirely determined by the input of participants at various control points. And at Customs House there is a dance floor. You choose your music, the computer scans you and the entire display is determined by your choice of music and your dance moves.
Regards,
Richard.
